Where is the traveling rosary?

I just want to share with you some of the amazing people that I have met who are helping us with sending our rosary around the United States.

The first person to receive the rosary was Brian from Beaver Dam, WI. Brian and his son prayed the rosary before mass together and here is something that he shared with us. "The Rosary helped me get back to the church after a long time of wishy-washiness. I was looking for at Catholic websites after the Pope died and found site that have free Catholic stuff and found the Rosary Army website. Now I lector, help with communion, am on the Parish Council and make pray and give away rosaries. Some of the ones I have made are in Kuwaitt, Iraq, & Columbia--plus various places in the US." Thank you Brian for being the first to help us in our rosary mission.

Then the rosary was sent to Raymond in North Dakota and this is what he shared with us. "I went to morning Mass at 8:00 AM. At 7:40, those of us who arrive early say the rosary, so I spent 20 minutes using your rosary to say the Sorrowful Mysteries. That afternoon I mailed the rosary to its next destination in Georgia.

I'm a big fan of the Rosary. I make two different styles of cord rosaries and try to pray the Rosary every day. Even though I don't always make it daily, I say the Rosary at least four times a week. I'm a firm believer in the writings of St. Louis de Montfort, and try to maintain a devotion to the Blessed Virgin. To me, the Rosary is the most perfect form of individual prayer, being one that requires only one person to be effective."

The rosary is now in Georgia and will be on its way to California soon. I have also received word from fellow catholics in Switzerland, Sweden, Croatia and the rosary will go to Rome in October. More to follow. Peace and God bless, Cindy

My rosary is on its way to Wisconsin!

Help me send and pray my Rosary Around the World

Dear Friends of the Rosary,

Thank you and God bless you for helping me to send and pray my rosary around the world! I have been praying about this for over a year and St. Joseph and Mary sent me an answer to a prayer after a 30-day novena. I am sending my rosary as a testimony to my children and for teenagers and young adults around the world to grow and trust in their catholic faith. I will forever keep all of you in my prayers for helping me with this mission. The rosary was blessed by Fr.Charles Deeney O.M.I. on June 26, 2007. He loved the rosary!

This is all you have to do:
 Contact me by email: ohlookangels@gmail.com and let me know that the rosary has arrived.
 Pray the rosary.
 ~Please post a message about where the rosary is and what the rosary means to you at maryproject.blogspot.com I will be sharing this information with catholic elementary, middle school and high school students (and my own children) to help them better understand and appreciate the catholic faith from people all over the world..
 If you are interested in sending me a medal, I will add it to the rosary once I receive it back at the end of its journey. My children will be putting together a scrapbook to share with others.
 When you are finished with the rosary, please forward it to the next person. I will provide their address through email. Put my return address on the envelope. Thank you.
 If my rosary was sent to you in error, please consider praying and then mail it back to me.

The rosary has arrived!

I received my rosary from the Rosary Army and I am ready to send it on its trip around the world. Here is my story: I am the catholic wife and a mother of four children; one girl age 20 and three boys ages 17, 11 and 8 –this is my calling and one that I treasure! As a parent, you know the challenge of raising and instilling morals and values in our children, according to our catholic faith, when we are surrounded by a very secular and liberal world. This has become a source of turmoil for me even more so since our daughter has been away at college. She is inundated on a daily basis by liberal thoughts and views and it has caused her to question just about everything. She has a strong catholic foundation but even that has become susceptible to small cracks since being away from home. It is so scary to hear how many young people do not believe in God at all. I have been praying daily that my daughter’s faith will sustain her and it I believe God is answering my prayers. It is my belief that God is calling me to be a witness to my faith and to share my faith with others through the rosary. I believe that God is asking me to testify to my faith by sending a rosary (that I am hoping you will personally make for me) around the world (I would love to see it make it to Fr. Roderick) and by the grace of God, it will make it back to me. It is my hope that as the rosary travels around the world, one person at a time, that people will record their thoughts about the rosary and what the location of the rosary is on my blog so that its journey can be shared and be an inspiration to all on the power of prayer. Maybe I could even make this into a podcast. I immediately thought of you and the Rosary Army as the place to begin. I could use any rosary but it would mean a lot to me to have one from you since the Rosary Army and SQPN has made such a difference in my spiritual life. Thank you for all that you do! I want to share this story to inspire my own children and the religious ed students that I teach at Annunciation Catholic Church, and I also want to get them involved in making rosaries for the Rosary Army. If you are interested in praying the rosary around the world with me, please contact me ohlookangels@gmail.com .If you are interested in receiving a free rosary, please contact RosaryArmy.com and be sure to tune in to their podcast which can be found on SQPN.com.God bless you and have an awesome day! Cindy :O)You will seek me and find me; when you seek me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:13

Rosary Around the World!

I have finally found a way to begin the MARY Project! As I begin this blog, my request for a rosary from the Rosary Army is on its way to Conyers, GA with the hope that Greg and Jennifer will help me with my quest to send a rosary around the world and into the hands of Fr. Roderick, in the Netherlands, and then back to Orlando, Florida.

I won't be able to officially start until I receive my rosary and start it on its journey around the world. I will offer my email address along with rosary and ask people to tell me their special story of their catholic and christian faith and what the rosary means to them.

Maybe this will help people grow in their faith and I know it will in mine. If we can unite through prayer, we can convert hearts and souls.
