Catherine ~ Confirmation

Catherine will be confirmed in the Catholic faith on 4-16-2013.  Her patron saints are St. Joan of Arc and St. Jude.  She designed and made her own rosary, so it has such a special meaning for her.  Catherine chose purple iridescent pressed glass beads for the Aves, along with her name, date and 2 patron saint names. The Paters are each a different color of 9mm pressed glass beads. All spacers are antique silver.  The St. Jude centerpiece and Orthodox crucifix are both oxidized metal and made in Italy.  What fun it was to help Catherine make this keepsake rosary that will bring her many years of peace, joy, prayer and devotion. Congratulations, Catherine!
