Rosary Contruction Goal Met!

After 321 days, it is with great excitement, praise to the Lord, and thanks to all who helped made it possible, that I can announce I have met my Rosary construction goal! Today, I finished my 1,000th Rosary! (The picture is just a fraction of the finished, individually bagged Rosaries!)



The Rosaries, each hand-strung, were comprised of:

1000 Crucifixes and Marian Centerpieces!
14,000 “spacers” [the plastic pieces between decades]
59,000 colored beads
More than 32,000 inches of black and white cord
These Rosaries, laid end to end, would stretch over ½ mile!

Of course, I could not have accomplished this goal without the help of friends and supporters. While I tried to complete 3 Rosaries each day, due to vacations and other events, I fell a bit behind from time to time! Fortunately, friends “volunteered” their time to help me catch up on four separate “Rosary Saturdays.” Without their help, this wouldn’t have happened!

And of course, there are thanks to be given to those who made financial donations to the Rosary Construction project. I received donations by hand, by mail, via PayPal from the “Donate” button on the lefthand sidebar of the blog! Friends, relatives, and individuals I didn’t know (from both the US and abroad) contributed, allowing the purchase of Rosary supplies and the shipping costs to send them to those in need. In total, approximately 40% of the just-over $1,000 it cost to make the Rosaries came from donations… and for that I am deeply grateful!

Please join my in praying that the Rosaries made over the course of this “year of prayer” will reach those in need of spiritual guidance and prayer aids, and that Our Blessed Mother will lavish upon them the grace of Our Lord, bringing souls to Christ through the power of the Rosary!

God bless you all!
