Called By Mary - DVD

Peter Scudner's heart-touching documentary immerses you in a Lourdes pilgrimage made annually by members of the Order of Malta. They and a team of doctors, priests, and family members accompany pilgrims seeking physical, mental, and spiritual healing from the Grotto where Our Lady appeared to Bernadette in 1858.
