Description: Ten-year-old Carl Demma had a dream so big, it took over his life. Through ill health, financial difficulties, the deaths of his two daughters, and indifference of many who should have been his support, his faith never failed. It took his entire life, but Carl finally accomplished his dream-- a monumental statue of the Blessed Mother that would have the unique ability to travel to the people to remind them of their faith and of her love for. them. In addition to its tremendous size, it had such a beauty that it drew thousands of people, not only from around the U.S. but well beyond.
