Terrific Catholic Resources

If you need a rosary, but can't afford one, contact these good people:
"Make Them. Pray Them. Give Them Away.
That's what we do at
Rosary Army
."
"Our goal is to get Rosaries into the hands of as many people as possible, and to help
people grow closer to Jesus Christ through meditating on the Rosary." Donations are
hoped and prayed for, but completely optional here if you really need a rosary and for
whatever reason are not able to purchase one.
