Our Lady's Rosary Makers need your helping hands to make rosaries for missionary children, prisoners, homeless and the sick.    Rosary makers in our nation are only able to supply one-tenth of all the rosaries needed in the world. 

If you can help, please contact Theresia Tangkilisan at 818 - 591 - 8960, or Janelle Beck at 805 - 497 - 1977.
