The Rosary Ladies are a spiritual devotion group that meets regularly to make rosaries for people in need around the world and to pray for our Blessed Mother’s intercession. Meetings take place each Thursday in classroom 107 from 10:00AM until 1:00PM. This group has met every week since 1986 and has made over 40,000 rosaries for missionaries to distribute around the world.
Supplies are ordered through Our Lady’s Rosary Makers in Kentucky. A beginner’s kit comes with instructions, materials for 10 rosaries and a special pair of pliers. After a few lessons, it is possible to make an entire rosary in less than one hour. Each member of the group purchases her own materials (about 50¢ per rosary). Each Thursday afternoon concludes with praying the rosary.
Missions that have benefited by rosaries made from their hands include Ukraine, Sri Lanka, India, Uganda, Tanzania, Brazil, Russia, Poland, U.S. Armed Forces, and U.S. prisons.
