Rosary Makers

The Rosary Makers Ministry was born in 1998, in the warmth of family homes, through the prayer of the Holy Rosary and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy.  

On March 3, 2001, the first Mass was celebrated at Markham Park, where the first 3,000 rosaries created by this beautiful ministry were distributed. Since then, the ministry has grown into a vibrant community of women of faith who, moved by their love for the Blessed Virgin Mary and their desire to serve, gather every Wednesday in an environment of prayer, fraternity, and devotion.  

At each gathering, members pray the Holy Rosary together with Our Lady, reflect on the Gospel of the day, and share a space of dialogue, mutual support, and encouragement. Over time, Rosary Makers has become a true community of faith and friendship, where Our Blessed Mother gently shapes our lives, like clay in her hands, through her Son, Jesus Christ.  

Our Mission  

To promote devotion to the Holy Rosary and to spread, through each bead, a message of faith, love, and hope.  

What We Do  

Beyond prayer, members are trained to create handmade rosaries with love and devotion. These rosaries are distributed as tangible signs of hope and faith across the world.  

Our mission has reached communities in:    
Venezuela, Peru, Colombia, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Chile, Mexico, and Puerto Rico.  

We also actively support:  

• Parish small groups and ministries  
• Catechism programs  
• Emmaus retreats  
• Hospital and clinic visits  
• Prison ministry   

Through every rosary, we carry a message of comfort, faith, and hope to those who need it most.  

Rosary-making ministries around the world share this same spirit of service—creating and distributing rosaries to missions, communities, and people in need as a way to spread devotion and spiritual support.  

Our Pillars  

1. Missionary Service    
We create rosaries that support evangelization efforts and charitable missions within and beyond our parish.  

2. Fraternity & Support    
We foster a space where friendship, listening, and solidarity flourish.  

3. Community Prayer    
We gather weekly to pray the Rosary and meditate on the Word of God.

Rosary Makers is more than a ministry—it is a living expression of faith in action, where prayer becomes service, and every rosary becomes a sign of love for our neighbor.
