which are used for this purpose. Thus far, with the Grace of God
and His Holy Mother, we always have been able to meet our goals.

to tie the knots and string the beads. All are welcome. To join,

with one of them. Anyone in St. Stephen's who has a need for a gift
rosary for a loved one, or for a special occasion should contact
Ediee to make arrangements to see our supply. We will make that
special rosary for you, your design, at any time. Want a family
rosary with decades the color of family member's birthdays for Grandma,
Grandpa, Mom or Dad? We can do it! No request is too small. We will
always do our best to fill your needs.
