Beads of Faith,

Made to Be Shared

Some missions begin quietly—with an idea placed on the heart and a willingness to say yes.

In April 2026, Veronica shared with Brother Francis an idea inspired by the Blessed Mother Mary: to bring people together to make rosaries for parishes, missions and those in need. Brother Francis prayed over Veronica and for God’s blessing upon the new ministry.

The first workshops were held at Stella Maris Parish in May, a month traditionally dedicated to Mary. What began with a few willing hands quickly grew.

Among the first rosaries made, 20 were given to RCIA candidates at Emmanuel City Mission, supporting people experiencing homelessness and disadvantage—an early expression of the ministry's desire to carry faith and hope beyond the parish walls.

Within just three months, 749 rosaries were lovingly made, reaching local parishes, RCIA candidates and communities as far as Adelaide.

What began as an idea placed on one heart soon became the work of many hands.

Bead by bead, prayer by prayer, faith is being made to be shared.
