It's the summer of 2026 and I've had to make a couple of changes. When I started offering my repair and recycle services a few years ago, I loved it. I was receiving packages from all over the country, even a couple from the U.K. But then, I just got too busy. I was the victim of my own success.

I've now gotten so busy that there's just too much work out there and I have to cut back. Way back. I've decided to no longer accept shipments of repair and recycle requests. I'm still making new rosaries and if I see you around town or after Mass, I'm more than happy to talk to you about your rosary and work on it for you. But I'm just going to keep my work local now; I still really love breathing new life into these beads and getting them back into working order.

I'm still hosting my weekly Rosary podcast and I love researching my family history. In short, I've got enough projects to fill my time.

If you think about it, what a wonderful testimony this is, that there is so much interest and demand out there to get these rosaries out of our sock drawers and back into our hands, guiding us in prayer. God's work isn't done.
