Congratulations!

I wonder if I will have to do something like this. I know that I was not quizzed for confirmation. I think we just were asked if we knew what it meant to be confirmed. We also had to do a special project. I did a Rosary project.

I make Rosaries as a hobby, when I can find time. Making one is like praying one, only better because when finished you can have it blessed and give it away. I hand them sometimes to complete strangers and say, "here, I made this for you. God bless". They are often shocked but always express much gratitude at getting the gift. I hope that it will stir them to find out more about it if they don't know already. I always attach a Saint's medal or Miraculous medal to the chain just after the tenth Hail Mary on the decade part, between it and the Our Father, in hope that they will be interested in finding out more about said Saint or Our Lady.

Congratulations, Graham! Nice photos!

Graham you are probably the only person I've seen here to post a picture. I'm changing my avatar to my picture for a while too. I find it's easier to be charitable with others when you can put a human face on them.

That didn't last long!
There was a push for everyone to share video intros last summer. A few of us (like 7) did so. Historically, this board hasn't been much of a photo-sharing group.

Very neat! I should learn how to make them. My project was just organizing a donation drive and having them sent with missionaries out of the country to give away.

I also tried to implement rosary prayer before football games for the players/cheerleaders. That didn't work out too well in a very secularized NO Catholic high school. Maybe that was a good thing. Blessed Mother would have never approved of our cheer uniforms. :thinking:

If you crochet or learn to crochet you can make them from yarn.

I didn't see it either, and I think I checked just a couple hours after he posted.
