Making Rosaries

Today the second graders made rosaries for all the malades and companions that we will be taking to Lourdes. They also wrote letters to each of the people who will receive a rosary. The cards were decorated with beautiful pictures. The crosses on the rosaries are made out of shrinky dinks! We printed the Maltese cross on the paper, the students colored and decorated them, and then we shrunk them to fit at the end of the rosary. They made enough for every malade and companion. Some students even made 2 or 3 rosaries! After they were finished, they went to the chapel and said prayers for the special person that would receive their rosary.
