A few years ago I wanted to — needed to — do something for my love of God and His Mother. I am handicapped and my right hand is crippled due to surgery; I have some use of it. One day I was sitting on our steps and it hit me: Make rosaries. So I figured out a way to make them.

It is a gift for anyone who is in need of one. There is no cost, not even to mail it. I have sent them to New York after the 9/11 attack, to New Orleans after the hurricane, and to any ministries that give them away. The reason I make them is because I love Our Lady's Prayer and I also celebrate the life of Our Lord.

What Cookie started others have joined. Good News Ministries now has a small team of rosary makers, coordinated by Stacy Trasancos. If you would like to join the team, contact Stacy through the form below.

Our Holy Family rosary beads come with a "How to Pray the Rosary" sheet. Our rosaries are blessed before being shipped.

We currently are offering knotted twine Rosaries in various colors with a medal attached of your choice: Holy Family, Holy Spirit, Miraculous Medal, Our Lady of Guadalupe, Sacred Heart, Four Way Cross, or assorted saint medals. We also have a limited supply of wooden bead Rosaries made from olive wood and crucifixes from the Holy Land. State your preference in the form below.

There is no limit per family: If you want one for each member of your family, please indicate how many in the "comments" field below:
