BRIDGE OF ROSES - THE STORY OF OUR LADY OF THE CAPE (DVD)
A priest discovers a pig chewing on a rosary. What he does next transforms his parish into a national shrine. This is the movie behind the Queen of the Most Holy Rosary’s movement to unite her shrines throughout the world in prayer.
Stylized recreations recount the journey of the Cape’s earliest missionaries, the miracle of the ice bridge over the St. Lawrence River in 1879 and the Prodigy of the Eyes where a statue of Our Lady came to life in the presence of three men in the small shrine. The film features Blessed Frédéric Janssoone played by Bishop Scott McCaig, CC and Fr. Luc Desilets played by Fr. Ben St.Croix, CC. The faithful witness of these two priests would bring about the birth 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.
