We are honored to have partnered with the Knights of Columbus Assembly 2022 in Valdosta, Georgia to provide rosaries to the deeply religious Ukrainian refugees.

Because of the generosity of our customers, the Knights of Columbus, and our employees as well, we were able to ship 1120 Rosaries for the refugees.

THANK YOU!

The Blessing of the Rosary

By Rugged Rosaries

Soon after you receive a rosary it is a good idea to have it blessed by a Catholic priest or deacon. Although not required, blessing your rosary is a traditional act that gives it more reverence. Here is the rosary blessing prayer which you can download and print out to take with you when you have your rosaries blessed.

BLESSING OF THE ROSARY

[To be said by a Catholic priest or deacon.]

P: Our help is in the name of the Lord.

All: Who made heaven and earth.

P: The Lord be with you.

All: May He also be with you.

Let us pray.

Almighty and merciful God, whom it pleased to reveal the mystery of the Blessed Trinity through Your only-begotten Son, and through the prophets and the apostles, so that we on earth, imitating the choirs of holy angels might offer devout and worthy praise to You; we appeal to Your goodness, asking that You bless and hallow these rosaries (this rosary), which the Church has sanctioned for the honor and praise of the Most Holy Trinity. Let them (it) be endowed with such power of the Holy Spirit, that whoever carries one on his person or reverently keeps it in his home, or devoutly recites it may be protected by You from every danger to body and soul. Let him (her) share in all the graces, privileges and indulgences granted by the Holy See; and in the hour of death let him (her) deserve to be presented by Your holy angels at the throne of Your divine majesty; through Christ our Lord.

All: Amen.

Rosaries to be sprinkled with holy water.

How to Pray a One Decade Pocket Rosary

By Rugged Rosaries
on February 09, 2021

One decade pocket rosaries are prayed with the same sequence as a normal Rosary. It's just smaller to make it more portable. The prayers do not change.

Because you don't have the normal beads in the drop portion (the part below the centerpiece of a rosary), you can say those prayers at the centerpiece and then you use the 10 decade beads repeatedly, 5 times, for the 5 mysteries of the normal rosary prayers with Hail Marys etc.

Start with the Crucifix. Do the sign of the cross and pray the Apostles Creed.
At the centerpiece, Pray 1 Our Father, 3 Hail Marys, and 1 Glory Be.

After that, you will move to the looped decade area and repeat #3 and #4 five times - one time for each of the 5 mysteries:

Single Bead: Our Father prayer, Announce the Mystery, and pray the Glory Be.
Then pray 1 Hail Mary on each of the 10 decade beads.
After completing all 5 Mysteries, pray the finishing "Hail, Holy Queen" and finish with the sign of the cross.
