| Today
there are over 170 retired School Sisters of St. Francis living in
the convent. All volunteer their services in some capacity.
A few design special rosaries out of rose petals as unique
remembrances for families.
|
Dried rose petals from wedding bouquets or floral
arrangements from funerals are used to craft beads for handmade
rosaries.

|
The amount of roses needed depends on size and quality of the
rose. All beads turn black, no matter the color of the rose.

|
A rose petal rosary is a wonderful thing for families to
remember their loved ones, or make a wonderful gift from a special
occasion like a wedding or anniversary.
All proceeds from the sale of the rosaries help support the
various missions and charities the sisters support. |
