The residents and their friends at Loreto Home of Compassion have been making Rosary Beads for 15 years. An afternoon tea party was held this week to celebrate this milestone. Over the years the Rosary Beads have been sent to Missions in Australia and overseas, gifted to Wagga Wagga City Council and a set was sent to the Pope. Many local residents of Wagga also have and use a set of these rosary beads. Well done!
