My grandma prayed the rosary every day. When she passed, I realized that her rosary had been lost during her illness, which broke my heart. Think of the years of prayers laid on those beads! I'm curious: do other families have heirloom rosaries that are passed down? If so, were the rosaries made to endure?
My family buries our deceased with their rosary in their hands. My grandmother had a stroke, and was mostly non-verbal at the end. But when we said the rosary, she prayed with us. A real testament to our faith.
My sister had a several-generations-old heirloom one that was unfortunately stolen in a home burglary. My sister and I also have beautiful heirloom ones made by religious sisters in maybe Michigan from the rose spray from my father’s coffin. That is the one I use. I intend to split the decades one day and incorporate them into new rose petal rosaries I have made for my kids.
Purchased a penal rosary right away; also already marking this as a gift for confirmation. Great work Henry - sharing your story with my son so he's a great young man doing good and loving Christ.
Amazing boy, how wonderful, I’m Irish so this is great ,as the history of the Penal days is very much alive in the Irish people . St Patrick ,I’m sure is inspiring this boy who loves the Lord ,
Wow this has made my day. Can’t wait to order for Australia. Go William Our Lady is helping you for sure.🙏☘️☘️☘️
It is good to see a kindred spirit. I started making and giving away rosaries at around that age. I still have the habit of giving away any rosary that is on me. I will be buying one shortly and use it as my backup.
This boy is super inspiring. I had no idea about this history, first of all, but for him to be driven to build a whole business around it at the age of 15 is profound. Holy entrepreneurship! May the Lord richly bless his work for the kingdom.
How very cool. I'm a big Rugged Rosaries devotee for many of the reasons mentioned by Henry, but I might have to branch out and support his business (/ministry) with a few purchases as gifts. Keep it up, Henry, and I'll include your good success as an intention in my next Rosary!

What a wonderful article! Thanks Michelle! This totally made my day!
Always nice to have positive stories about faith! Really shows the range of the church in a beautiful way

I wish Rings of the Lord much success.

I thought everybody was buried with their rosary.

You rock, Henry!
Wow! What a wonderful story!
Shouldn’t it be “Blessed Carlo Acutis” rather than “Servant of God”?
Yes it should! Thanks for the correction
Excellent report!
Cool! Thanks for sharing this.
