How did rosary making get started?

Read their story written by Tom Maguire for the Catholic Sun here and view the video above for a message from Alice and Nelson.
9/30/21 Since this writing, Nelson and Alice have both passed away. We miss her cheery face and Nelson's corny jokes but most of all their love and devotion to Our Lady and her Rosary. We know they will be watching over and praying for this ministry that they began with faith, hope and love.

Alice and Nelson Kirkpatrick devoted their lives and marriage to Our Lady. Their home honors Jesus and Mary and is adorned with rosaries, statues and holy pictures. They make rosaries for all over the country and world. They were the beginning of the Marian Center Rosary Makers and we promised Nelson to continue Rosary making and distribution in honor of Our Lady.

You can learn how to pray the rosary at the USCCB website.

Our 7 Sorrows Rosaries are available at the Center. The devotion originally was given to St. Bridget but was requested again during Our Lady's appearances to Marie Clare in Kibeho, Africa. Visit Immaculee's website to learn how to pray this special prayer.

7 Sorrows Rosaries of Our Lady are available at the CNY Marian Center.

Irene, Barb, Sharon, Ann Marie, Lynn and Marguerite are gifted rosary makers who felt a call from the Holy Spirit to offer red and white bead rosaries to Confirmation classes as a gift. They sent out over 1000 Rosaries last year to parishes in the Diocese of Syracuse. The request form link is at the top of this page.

Newest to the Rosary Lineup - Lap Rosaries

Mary Putney was inspired while participating in 33 Days to Morning Glory to design a crocheted rosary that people with coordination problems, dementia, arthritis, difficulty gripping objects, or vision problems can pray with.
Ever seen a Crocheted Rosary? They are pictured abvie and we have them at the Marian Center. They are designed for anyone who has difficulty using a traditional rosary. It can sit on a table or rest in your lap. Some are distributed to local care facilities for the residents. The rosaries are available for anyone visiting the Marian Center.
Do you crochet? We would love to have more volunteers to help make the rosaries. We meet at the Center on Fridays 10AM-12:00PM and will teach you the patterns. PLEASE CONTACT US IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO LEARN TO MAKE THESE. THE CROCHET EXPERTS ARE NOT THERE EVERY WEEK SO WE WOULD NEED TO GIVE THEM A HEADSUP. You may also take yarn and beads to make them at home, then drop them off at the Center. There has been a great demand for these rosaries in care facilities and we really could use more lap rosary makers. All materials supplied.
Please contact us if you would like more information or show up Friday at 10AM with your hook or needles if you want to try a knitted one .

Rosary Making at the Marian Center

The Friday morning Marian Center Rosary Makers enjoy their time together making Rosaries and good conversation.
There is plenty of time for socializing, story telling and making rosaries. Like anyone new to this, they all had to learn how to do it. So they welcome anyone who has an interest in making and spreading the joy of the Rosary to others. Come any Friday 10AM-Noon and join the group in the CNY Marian Center. Enter through the side entrance on the parking lot side.

The Marian Center Rosary Makers previously met at the Franciscan Villa but due to COVID are not able to gather. The Rosary Makers were once featured on Diocese of Syracuse Catholic TV. Check it out on the link below.

See a rose. Pray a Rosary.

This saying was coined by Rosary Maker, Nelson Kirkpatrick. Nelson and wife, Alice started rosary making at the Marian Center about five years ago. They have taught many people this sacred craft. Much love and prayers go into the rosaries. The initial group has grown and now meets at the Franciscan Villa on Buckley Road. Learn how to make rosaries. The group is currently making rosaries individually at their homes but watch for info on our getting together again.
