Bridge of Roses - The Story of Our Lady of the Cape DVD

A priest finds a pig gnawing on a rosary. What he does next turns his parish into a national shrine. This is the film that inspired the Queen of the Most Holy Rosary's campaign to join her shrines across the globe in prayer.

Stylized recreations depict the trip of the Cape's early missionaries, the miracle of the ice bridge across the St. Lawrence River in 1879, and the Miracle of the Eyes, in which a statue of Our Lady came to life in the presence of three men in the modest shrine. Blessed Frédéric Janssoone is portrayed by Bishop Scott McCaig, CC, while Fr. Luc Desilets is played by Fr. Ben St.Croix, CC. The steadfast testimony of these two priests would result in the establishment of the now-famous Shrine at Cap de la Madeleine.

Featuring interviews with Bishop Pierre-Olivier Tremblay, Bishop of the diocese of Trois-Rivières; Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC, Fr. Lawrence Lew, Dominican Promoter General of the Rosary, Fr. Roger Vandenakker, General Superior of the Companions of the Cross and Fr. Mark Goring, CC, the film gives witness to the efficacy of the Confraternity of the Most Holy Rosary to unite; to give hope; to restore a sense of community.

Runtime time: 71 minutes.
