I ordered a custom-made Rosary from the Sisters after my old one got lost after 5 years. It is beautiful and very well made. I'm very active and keep my rosary in my pocket most of the time, so it can get roughed up. The durability of the product is simply terrific. The chain links are strong, the beads are well linked. The product arrived earlier than expected and is much nicer than I thought based on the web site photos. The service, confirmations and payments were simple and easy. It means a great deal to me that I'm helping the Sisters through my purchase. I highly recommend them. - JB From Perrysburg, Ohio
“Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I received my rosary yesterday and it is simply magnificent! It is indeed a work of art. When I think of the love, dedication, and craftsmanship that you must pour into each rosary you create... well, it’s inspiring. I am truly in awe of your superb work and grateful to have found your web site. I will treasure this forever.” – Georgia, Virginia, USA
“I have received my orders from you and again want to thank you for them. The Blessed Sacrament and Seven Dolors chaplets are beautiful and will be treasured by me for many years. As others have said, the pictures on the web site don’t do them justice. I also want to thank you for the books you carry. They are clearly selected with the goal of deepening faith. It is wonderful to find a place where I can go and know that I will receive quality, not only of merchandise, but of faith. Again, thank you for the work you do.” – Mary, Minnesota, USA
“I received my custom St. Rita Rosary from you a few weeks ago and have been thinking about how I can sing the praises of your superior expert craftsmanship, and I cannot find the words that can do justice to how flawless and perfect this rosary truly is. My speechlessness will have to suffice as this rosary is simply the most perfect I have ever seen or prayed on. Thank you all so much for all of the sacramentals that you have made for me over the past year. They have all found great homes and have done more good than you can ever imagine. I am sure that you will be receiving more orders from me soon as all of my badges that you make me don’t last long in my rosary pouch since I give them away frequently to those who admire them. God Bless you ALL.” – Matthew, Arizona, USA
“I received my cord rosary today. It is absolutely beautiful, but I didn’t expect anything less, as it is not my first rosary from the Sisters of Carmel, so I am already well aware of your outstanding workmanship! And that is why I will never purchase rosaries from any other source.” – Kristin, Massachusetts, USA
“I just received my scapular and reliquary crucifix along with the Miraculous Medals. I am so very pleased with the quality of the items! Truly the BEST on-line selection of sacramentals. Thanks so much! I will be ordering from you again soon.” – David, Ohio, USA
“I RECEIVED MY ROSARY TODAY!! I AM SOOOO EXCITED!! What a wonderful job you did! The rosary is so very beautiful! The Pardon Crucifix is larger than I’d thought it would be; it is so beautiful! I know I keep saying beautiful, but it’s hard to find the words to say it otherwise. I thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart. I wonder at the craftsmanship and meticulous detail. It must take so much patience and devotion; the work is so finely done. The turquoise stones are so precious and finely made. I could go on and on.” – Kathleen, Connecticut, USA
“Your website is like an oasis of good spiritual things! You do such magnificent work, the chaplets are amazing! The badges are like having good friends near, and your books are so nourishing to the soul. I feel so blessed to have found you.

“My custom rosary has arrived safely, thank you. It is an exquisite work of art that I shall always treasure. As soon as I held it, I could feel the sincerity of the love and the prayers that went into it while it was being made. The rose quartz and the white Czech Lampwork Rose beads complement each other beautifully. Thank you for the prayer card and the handwritten tab on the rosary and also for having it blessed by a priest...all extra personal touches that show that you care. I shall order again from you in the future.” – Eva Maria, Birmingham, United Kingdom
“I just wanted to thank you for the excellent customer service provided by your online shop and the very fine quality of scapular (the best I've seen) and Miraculous medal.

“I am contacting you to let you know that I have received my order! I can’t find the words to thank you for the two wonderful chaplets that you sent me! They are very fine! It is clear to me that your great mission of handmaking rosaries and chaplets is undoubtedly a great gift of GOD! I also appreciated the books I ordered. Your religious articles are very refined and are made with great love, passion and cleverness. The colors of the chaplets are very fine! I am very happy to have the opportunity to pray every day with your chaplets! It is really a great honor for me!” – Cristina, Milan, Italy
“The craftsmanship of the rosary is by far the best I have seen. The smoothness of the chain, the onyx beads, and the overall balance of this exquisite piece is like no other I’ve seen. Unlike other rosaries I’ve owned in the past, this rosary which was handmade is certainly of higher quality and is much more durable than the factory-made rosaries which tend to break easily. You might recall that I ordered another rosary from the monastery last year which was corded and of olive wood beads...just as well made.” – David, Pennsylvania, USA
“About a year ago, I had ordered three of your scapulars (one for myself and one for each of my two children), and I just want to thank you for your wonderfully crafted scapulars. I’m a notorious scapular breaker due to the way I sleep and rough-house with my kids. Your scapular has held up to all of that and is still as good as new with no fraying.” – Sam, Massachusetts, USA
“Unbelievable service – I received my order on Monday, exactly five days after placing it. Your customer service is outstanding. Everything was securely packaged and arrived in perfect condition. The ceramic ornaments are lovely, and I can’t wait to add them to my Christmas tree this year. The exquisite suncatcher will be placed in my kitchen window where it will be appreciated every day. And as for the ‘In Paradisum’ CD, all I can say is it’s on continuous loop right now. I love early sacred choral music and have a collection of CD’s, but this one is stunningly beautiful and has become my new favorite.” – Linda, North Carolina, USA
“My round olive wood bead cord rosary with its brass rosewood inlaid crucifix arrived in the mail yesterday. It’s absolutely beautiful!

“I received my rosary today! Thank you!!! It is, by far, the most exquisite rosary I've ever seen! The beauty and workmanship of your rosary far surpasses even that of a high-end Creed rosary which I own.

The rosary feels wonderful in the hands – strong and durable, yet beautifully feminine in appearance! Once again, you have far exceeded my expectations!” – Kristin, Massachusetts, USA

The quality is superior!” – Frances, Arizona, USA

It is exactly how I envisioned it and the size is perfect. You were also right about the beads; the color is exceptional! Thank you, thank you, thank you each and every Sister for doing such a perfect job and for putting up with us throughout this whole process. While researching this project, every time I looked elsewhere, I always seemed to be guided back to the Sisters of Carmel, and now I know why...PERFECTION!” – a Catholic Church, New York, USA
“Thank You Falls Short of My Gratitude – I received the rosary that you handcrafted for my future son-in-law. I was elated to see the beauty of the black mother of pearl beads and the stunning sterling silver crucifix.

“Once again, you have outdone yourselves. The rosary bracelet and my new rosary are just beautiful! They are so lovely. I have been wearing my rosary bracelet every day, and it feels nice to be able to look down and see a small miraculous medal and cross on my wrist. Also, this is the first time I have seen the lampwork rose beads, and they are every bit as lovely as you describe on your website. Whenever I see my rosaries/rosary bracelet, I think of you and pray for your vocations, that God may richly bless you in all you do. Once again, thank you so much for the beautiful rosaries. They are something I will always treasure.” – A.Q.

“I received my sterling silver Pardon Crucifix yesterday. It was such a pleasure to receive it. Everything was packaged and presented with such care and finesse. The crucifix was crafted with such intricate and beautiful details that it does not do justice to look at it through the Internet. One has to order it to relish what a beautiful piece of art it is. Again, the manner you package the crucifix, the enclosures contained within, and the quality of craftmanship itself has totally exceeded my expectations.” – K.W.C.
“I wonder if you tire of hearing praise from your customers, but I can’t refrain from writing to tell you how much I appreciate the care and love with which you create these prayer tools. I literally have searched the world for rosaries, and I have found pretty rosaries that fall apart, and sturdy rosaries that are, to put it kindly, aesthetically distracting. Yours are the only ones I have found that marry beauty and strength. Thank you so much.” – M.G.
“WOW – what beautiful workmanship in these rosaries and chaplets. I am in awe of your talent to make such beautiful rosaries with absolutely gorgeous bows – stunning! I have my grandfather’s old rosary, he brought it with him when he moved here from Italy, and it has the same gorgeous bows that you all make, but I never see rosaries made this way, except for yours.” – C.B.
“The rosary you made for me just arrived. It is the most incredible and beautiful rosary that I have ever seen or owned. It is a true blessing and a masterpiece. You are all so talented and creative.

I just can’t say enough about the rosary.” – C.P.
“I just received my new Rosary you made for me today and I honestly cannot find the words to tell you how beautiful it is! I had complete confidence when I ordered it that the workmanship was going to be jeweler’s quality. Actually holding the Rosary and seeing it, I could not believe the exquisite craftsmanship and love that went into creating this Holy symbol of the Blessed Virgin’s Promise to the faithful. All I can simply say is, ‘A Thousand and One Thank-You’s!!’ I will cherish this beautiful work of love and art for many many years to come.
