69,405 Handmade Rosaries Begin their Journey to Africa

We are very excited to report that 9 barrels each filled to the brim with Children's Rosary materials and handmade rosaries were picked up on May 16.


These barrels will begin a four month sea voyage on May 29. The rosaries will help our Children's Rosary groups in Uganda and Rwanda! A special thank you to all the rosary makers who put their love and time into making these rosaries. 

Thank you to the sponsors of each barrel. In some cases one person was the financial wings to bring a barrel to the children in Africa. In other cases multiple people contributed to the transport costs. 


Thank you to Mary Ann Swain who worked with great care to packed each barrel. This process of preparing 9 barrels takes months. But this shipment represents a victory for Our Blessed Mother. In her month of May, this shipment leaves for Africa which will allow thousands of children to be able to pray the rosary holding a beautiful handmade rosary. 

A list of contents of the 9 barrels:
69,405 handmade rosaries
760 Children's Rosary books
630 Color Children's Rosary pamphlets
180 Child Consecration books
120 A Soul Prepared through Suffering Books
180 Miraculous Medals
195 Scapulars
9 Children's Rosary T shirts
