True devotion is rare in this day and age -- but it thrives here, in a small nearly 200-year-old adobe church that calls pilgrims from all over. . . .It's considered the "Lourdes of America" -- and you can personally collect a small scoop of sacred soil from the ground in a room just next to the sanctuary -- a...
