This is the season of joy, and I want to say "thank you" to all of the Rosary Makers. You give the gift of time, treasure and talent all year long, remembering the least of the poor in the missions and various parts of the world. Rosaries are also sent to those in prison and other locations requested in our own beloved country. The missions, in turn, remember us in their prayers and the Holy masses celebrated on our behalf.This fall alone we sent out, from September to December, a total of 3,595 rosaries with prayer cards, religious pictures and prayer booklets. Another "thank you" to all members of our parish for donating these items to be sent with our rosaries.
I hope you all had a Blessed Christmas and have a wonderful New Year. Sine we began our guild here at Sacred Heart, we have given away a total of 66,635 rosaries.
