Hi Tonk and all,
We are very proud of our 15 year old daughter. She wanted to forego Christmas presents this year and do community service work instead. One of her projects has been to make cord rosaries for the soldiers facing combat.
We receive the newsletter from Our Lady's Rosary Makers in Kentucky, who have the supplies. They mentioned that combat soldiers were in need of cord rosaries. They have to be made with all black, non-reflective materials. Black cord, black beads, and black plastic crucifixes, plus able to fit around the neck were the specs.
Cord rosaries are relatively easy to make. We just sent 50 off to a chaplain Tonk hooked us up with. We also sent some St. Michael holy cards in the box, the ones with the St. Michael prayers on the back.
If you need more details or would like to participate, just freepmail me.
God bless all our troops!
