The Rosary-Maker Ministry helps promote devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, our beloved Mother, through prayer and by making, and teaching others to make, simple cord-and-bead rosaries. We freely distribute these rosaries to missions and individuals domestically and worldwide, including our local school children, charitable organizations, hospitals and health care facilities and the military. Blessed Rosaries are available for you in the Parish Office.
Since the inception of the ministry in August 2014, over 50,000 rosaries have been made and distributed. We have filled two scrapbooks with the letters of thanks sent to us from all over the world.
“Blessed be the Lord my rock, who trains my hands for battle, and my fingers for war.” ~~Psalm 144:1*
Each month, the Rosary-Makers invite you to join our Living Rosary which features a monthly dedicated intention. The invitation is sent through Signup Genius. With multiple prayer partners, it is possible that each day all 4 Mysteries (Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious, and Lumiunous) will be recited. Individuals are responsible for only one decade of one of the Mysteries. We, Rosary-Makers, recognize that the Rosary is a powerful prayer to our Blessed Mother. If you would like to be involved in this Living Rosary, please contact us at rosary@holyfamilyjax.com for further instructions.
We invite you to come to one of our meetings. Most times, we meet in the PLC on the second Tuesday of the month at 6:30 pm. Occasionally, we offer lessons after the Sunday 8:00 am Mass in the PLC during the Coffee and Donuts social time. Watch for announcements in the bulletin.
