While the Grotto is a place of devotion to the Mother of God, her only Son, the Son of God, must never be forgotten. Promotion of devotion to the Eucharist has always played a major role in the life of Carfin Grotto and it continues to do so today.

In the Chapel of Our Lady, Maid of the Seas, there is Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament on a daily basis from May through to September. Many people from the Diocese of Motherwell, and from much greater distances, journey to Carfin for the peace it offers.

There is no greater place of peace to be found than sitting in the Chapel before Our Lord in the Eucharist.

Much of the design of the Grotto, including the Bethlehem Cave, was the work of Monsignor Gerard Dupon of Burges, who became a great friend and artistic advisor to Canon Taylor.

Over the years, other Shrines have grown up and the Grotto has developed. Many changes have been made as time has gone by and needs have changed, with statues being moved or even removed for one reason or another, such as the statues of Maria Goretti and the Belgian Madonna, Our Lady of Banneux, or the Virgin of the Poor, a personal gift from Dupon.
