Quid Hoc Ad Aeternitatem?

What is this to eternity?

We are a small, homeschooling, family-owned rosary shop with a big mission. Guided by the example of our patron, St. Maximilian Kolbe, we exist to spread the Catholic Faith as far as it will go - one rosary at a time.

It started simply: we needed rosaries that could survive our kids. Toddlers are hard on everything, and we wanted our children to hold the Rosary in their hands from the earliest age - to grow up with a devotion to Our Lady woven into their daily lives. So we made our own. Durable. Beautiful. Built to be prayed.

We fell in love with what we created. Friends and family wanted them. And then we asked ourselves: What would St. Kolbe do? He used the printing press. We'd use the internet. Same mission, new tools. Now our rosaries travel to souls across the world - and every one of them carries the same prayer we started with: Mary, bring them closer to your Son.

New to The Rosary or trying to teach somebody how to pray it? We have resources available to help you or your loved ones increase your fervor for The Rosary!

Our Mission

Milites Christi sumus

Our mission doesn't stop at rosaries. We're here to evangelize - to share the truths of the Catholic Faith with those who've never heard them, and especially with those who have heard them but never understood their depth. The Faith is a treasure. Too many Catholics don't know what they have.

We sell rosaries to arm the Church Militant. We sell stickers, shirts, and hoodies to start conversations. Every package that leaves our home is a small act of evangelization - a chance for someone to encounter Christ, His Church, and His Mother. That's the mission. That's why we exist.

Laborare est orare

We believe work sanctifies the soul. Our shop isn't just a business - it's how we raise our children. From about age 3, our kids help in the work: counting beads, sorting colors, packing orders, praying over shipments. They're learning that idleness is the enemy, that quality matters more than speed, and that every customer is a soul to be loved.

This is our family's craft, our family's apostolate, our family's joy.

Our rallying cry is simple: ‘Who do you serve?’

We know our answer. We serve Christ the King, His Blessed Mother, and every soul He places in our path. In a world that has forgotten whom it should serve, we're planting a flag.

About Sanctus Servo's Paracord Rosary

Rosary Sizes

• All rosaries are handmade by our small Catholic family of 7.
• The adult or regular size acrylic beaded rosaries typically use 11-12mm beads, a 2-3” crucifix and 1” devotional medal.
• The children’s size rosaries typically use smaller beads (~10mm), a smaller crucifix (~1.5”) and a smaller devotional medal (~.75”).
• Our metal beaded rosaries use 10mm metal alloy beads, a centerpiece devotional medal and typically a 2" crucifix. These rosaries fit great in a pocket and have a nice 'heft' to them.
• Any rosary can be customized to change rope/bead color or crucifix/devotional medal depending on what we have in stock, just send us a message!
• We can also accommodate large orders, feel free to reach out.
• Check out our resources page if you need a copy of any of the blessings to hand to your priest, especially the St. Benedict medal blessings.

** Remember to have your rosary and devotional medal(s) blessed (and exorcised if it is a St. Benedict medal) by a priest before use for maximum indulgences!

Rosary Safety

Wearing Rosaries

• Most of our acrylic beaded paracord rosaries (and the rope rosaries) can fit around most heads and be worn (*not the metal beaded rosaries!*), though we do not suggest it (especially with children!) as they cannot break away easily. They are designed to be strong, durable and unbreakable and are made from paracord, therefore they can be a choking hazard.
• If you still wish to wear it, most of our acrylic rosaries hang about 18" in length, with the center loop about 24" in circumference, which fits around most heads. The metal beaded rosaries are about 17" in length and 20" in circumference. If you'd like extra slack built in, we can make a custom one for you, just reach out to us.
• Please note that the rosary is most effective when prayed on, rather than simply worn as an article of clothing and we encourage all of our customers to use them in that manner. EWTN has a good article by Father Edward McNamara, LC on Wearing the Rosary as a Necklace.

Kid's Rosaries

• Our Kid's rosaries are intended for older children. The Kid's rosaries are specifically designed to withstand the normal wear-and-tear of a child (tested with our own children!). As such, they do not break away and should not be worn as a necklace. In addition, the material composition of the rosaries (which varies from design-to-design) should not be placed in a mouth. If you're looking for a rosary that is more baby-friendly, check out the lovely offerings at Chews Life.

Materials

Our materials are sourced from many suppliers inside and outside of the U.S. and vary from design to design. Here are some of the materials we use in our rosaries:

• Our ropes are made of various materials including nylon and polyester.
• The majority of our Crucifixes and devotional medals are made of a silver-plated (Italian-made) ZAMAC (a metal alloy of mostly zinc).
• The beads on our metal-beaded rosaries are also made of a zinc alloy.
• Our gold, rose gold, copper, olive and even gunmetal metal beads utilize copper to give them their coloring. As such, the color may change over time (for more information on maintaining color, see our Rosary Care page.)
• The majority of our plastic beads are made of acrylic or other plastic materials. Various types of paints and coloring are used to give them their color (which may include metal ingredients).
• Our split-rings are made of a zinc alloy.
• If you have any questions on our materials or on a specific rosary, please don't hesitate to contact us.
