Rosaries Locally Made in North Conway NH

assorted rosary beads Beautiful rosaries made by a local woman, in North Conway, NH... a cancer survivor.
Mary Margaret would have never guessed that she'd be making rosaries. The thought to do this kept coming to her for several months after a successful cancer surgery that she was not certain she would survive. Each time, she gently pushed it away thinking it wasn't for her. Then one day she ordered a new rosary. It came with an extra Our Father bead and space. It was obvious that not only was this machine made, but no human even quality controlled it for errors. She mentioned the 'inkling' to her Pastor, of wanting to begin making and repairing rosaries. Before she knew it, he made up an ad for the weekly bulletin! With his kind encouragement and help, she began looking around for rosary parts ... and before she knew it, she was ordering enough for a small army! And so, it began! She takes great pride in her craftsmanship and strives to perfection in my work. As you can likely tell from the prices, her labor and time are not figured into the final price. This is mostly a labor of love in that the main objective is to put rosaries into the hands of folks that will use them, thus assisting Our Lady's Efforts.
