IMG 1488One Hundred Thousand (100,000) rosaries have been shipped!  The Sacred Heart Rosary Makers have made it their goal this year to send out a box with our last rosary to equal 100,000.  We called our mission "Happy Birthday Jesus!"

Our rosaries are shipped in boxes of 300 to third world countries, orphanages, hospitals, prisons, schools, the military, other churches and to Catholic Charities.  The rosaries are sent free-of-charge to any group that requests them.  We have also been supplying green, red and gold Advent, and purple and black Lenten rosaries, to our parish and to St. Marys in Hot Springs.  The Holy Mother truly works miracles.  Without her help, this mission would not have been possible.

We are a small, dedicated and prolific group.  We meet every Thursday after Mass.  If you would like to join us please contact Marge Newburn at 922-9047.
