One of the more recently founded ministries at St. Lucie is the Rosary Making Group. Rosaries play an important role in our prayer lives. They help give our praying a rhythm and consistency. It is no wonder then that since the Rosary Making Group’s foundation in 2004, the group has made thousands of rosaries. These its members have distributed to young people in the Religious Education Program, fellow parishioners, area prisons, and other communities around the world that Conventual Franciscans have visited.

The Rosary Making Group always welcomes new members to its 9 am meetings at the Parish Center Library every Thursday.
