All Saints Parish Rosary Guild was started on September 12, 2006, with 4 people learning how to make chain rosaries plus 2 of us that knew how. It has grown a little since then. We now have 10 members, and a few have come and gone.
This past year we made:
-
230 chain rosaries for First Communion students
-
180 chain rosaries for Confirmation students
-
20 chain rosaries for RCIA candidates
-
100 chastity rosaries
-
349 cord rosaries for World Mission Day that will be used by children at the Cathedral of Saint Paul when 2000 children will be saying the World Mission Rosary from 10:00 - 11:00 am on October 7th. They will be saying 5 decades of the rosary. Children from all Catholic Schools in the archdiocese are invited to attend.
We have made and sent:
-
365 cord rosaries along with the group that went to Dominica, West Indies
-
290 cord rosaries along with the students that went on the Mexico NPH Mission trip
We work through the K of C Auxiliary, and we don’t hold meetings or get-togethers to make rosaries.
The supplies are ordered and organized by one person, and each of us makes rosaries at our own pace, in our own time. Supplies can be picked up at K of C Auxiliary meetings, in the church office, or however you wish to make contact.
We are funded by the Knights of Columbus and the Catholic Aid Society. However, if anyone would like to contribute to the fund, any donations would be gratefully accepted. (Make payable to All Saints)
We are always looking for new members, and we are willing to teach you how to make either the chain rosaries, cord rosaries, or both.
