The small shrine to the Virgin Mary was not an original part of the Capilla de la Lomita grounds. It was erected in 1956 during the "World year in honor of Mary Immaculate" by the Oblates, whose patroness she is. The statue honored the fathers who worked at La Lomita and throughout the Rio Grande Valley under the title "Oblates of Mary Immaculate."
