Our Lady's Rosary Makers Ministry
Our Lady’s Rosary Makers is a National Rosary Makers Association out of Louisville, KY started in 1949 by Brother Sylvan Mattingly. He taught people to make rosaries in order to distribute them to missions worldwide without cost. He wanted everyone to have the opportunity to pray the Rosary daily as Our Lady of Fatima requested.
October 13, 2021 was the inaugural meeting of Our Lady’s Rosary Makers here at St. Joseph’s. The rosaries are distributed throughout all parts of the world. Closer to home, we supply rosaries to Fort Jackson for the new recruits. They are available to anyone in the parish wanting rosaries for home/hospital ministries.
Anyone interested in learning to make cord rosaries for the missions we welcome to have you join us. We will be meeting the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month in the Gilmore Senior Center in the MAB building. It is a ministry which can be done at home if that is your preference.
If interested in joining us, please contact Mary Bettin at mbrosary@gmail.com.
