At Sanctus Servo, our mission goes beyond crafting Catholic paracord rosaries, apparel, and stickers. We are a small homeschooling family of 5 (with our 4th child on the way!) and our love is with Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and Catholicism. We believe in our hearts that if others knew the truths of Catholicism, they would not hesitate to join us and help spread the faith. Our goal is to spread the Catholic faith through flashy stickers, shirts and hoodies but most importantly of all, through Our Lady’s most holy weapon, the Holy Rosary! Our foundation is rooted in tradition, strength, and the devotion to Mary's Holy Rosary. Let's delve into the heart of what Sanctus Servo truly means and how it echoes through every product we offer.

Sanctus Servo: Our Name and Our Brand

Our conversion really began about five years ago, shortly before the birth of our second child.  Upon starting to learn some of the truths of the Catholic faith, we began building a devotion to the sacred and to tradition, especially the Latin language. When picking our name, we knew we had to go with something unique, yet traditional. We also knew that all the work we complete with our hands is offered with thanks to God, who is ultimately the author of any good act we accomplish. With that in mind, we wanted a name that was traditional but also emphasized that we are simply here to serve our Lord. The goal for our shop is to spread the Catholic faith and carry out the mission set forth as active members of the Church Militant. We believe we are simply “serving God” in our mission, so we wanted a name that said exactly that!

Getting Technical - Latin Definitions

The name "Sanctus Servo" resonates with profound significance for our family. Derived from Latin, it translates roughly to "Holy Servant" or “I Serve the Holy”. Of course, Sanctus means “Holy” in English. “Servo” means “I Serve” or “I Keep”, which is derived from the root word “Servus” (servant, slave).

Technically speaking, servo is the first person singular present tense form of the verb, and “servus” is the nominative singular form of the noun. Both words are related and stem from the same root concept of servitude and service. Once we knew the two words that described our goal, we then had to choose the proper grammatical form of them. The phrases "Sanctus Servo" and "Sanctus Servus" are both Latin and can be translated as follows:

• "Sanctus Servo": This phrase can be translated as "Holy I serve" or "I serve the Holy." The word "sanctus" means "holy" or "sacred," and "servo" means "I serve" or "to serve." The word order suggests that the subject ("I") is declaring their intention to serve something that is considered holy or sacred.
• "Sanctus Servus": This phrase can be translated as "Holy Servant" or "Servant of the Holy." The word "sanctus" still means "holy" or "sacred," and "servus" means "servant" or "slave." In this case, the word order indicates that the subject is describing themselves as a servant or slave to something that is holy or sacred.

The main difference between these phrases lies in the role and relationship implied by the word order. In "Sanctus Servo," the focus is on the act of serving something holy. In "Sanctus Servus," the emphasis is on being a servant or slave to something holy. Both phrases convey a sense of reverence and devotion to the sacred, but they emphasize slightly different aspects of that devotion.

Tradition Meets Innovation: Crafting Paracord Rosaries

Our paracord rosaries are a marriage of tradition and innovation. They capture the timeless devotion of the rosary while embodying the strength and durability of paracord material. Each knot we tie and each bead we string, reflects the strong foundation of faith that guides us through life's challenges. Just as paracord boasts resilience and durability, we design our rosaries to be a steadfast companion, a tool or a “weapon”, accompanying you through thick and thin.

A Symbol of Strength: The Sanctus Servo Paracord Rosary

The paracord rosary is more than just an aid to your prayer life. It is also a symbol of strength and protection. Just as a Catholic faces trials with unwavering faith, our rosaries are built to withstand the test of time. Our devotion to tradition doesn't hinder us from embracing innovation, and this ethos resonates in every knot of our paracord rosaries.

Empowering the New Generation: Reaching Out to Younger Catholics

At Sanctus Servo, we're proud to see our paracord rosaries embraced by newer and younger Catholics and most of all, prayed on by little children. As traditions evolve and adapt, so do the tools we use to foster our faith. Through our products, we bridge the gap between time-honored practices and contemporary expressions of devotion. 

Spreading the Faith: Mary's Holy Rosary

Our ultimate goal is to spread the Catholic faith, and specifically, to share the profound beauty of Mary's Holy Rosary. With each bead, we find solace in Mary's intercession, drawing strength from her unwavering love. Our products serve as a tangible reminder of this devotion, inviting Catholics to embrace their faith and find comfort in Mary's presence.

In a world filled with uncertainties, Sanctus Servo stands as a beacon of tradition, strength, and devotion. Our paracord rosaries, apparel, and stickers are more than just mere products; they embody our commitment to serving a higher purpose. We invite you to explore our collection, join us on this journey of faith, and discover the profound connection between Sanctus Servo, our offerings, and the Catholic tradition we hold dear. Let our products remind you of the unwavering strength that comes from a deep-rooted faith in Mary's Holy Rosary.
