WAYNESVILLE — Our Lady’s Rosary Makers held its annual fundraiser in conjunction with St. John the Evangelist Parish’s annual festival July 29. Under the guidance of pastor Father Paul McNulty and group leader Carol Kielb, handmade rosaries were offered for a donation to support the purchase of beads and other supplies.
Rosary Makers take beads and weave handmade cord rosaries for missions. So far, more than 7.000 free rosaries have been sent to missions.
Another opportunity to support Our Lady’s Rosary Makers will be Oct. 1 at St. John Parish, just in time for October celebrations of Our Blessed Mother.
There will be many original pieces available at the parish, including glass, stone and wood bead rosaries, rosary brackets, pocket rosaries and more.
