Congress attendees are being encouraged to form a deeper connection to their faith, both at the stadium and when they return home.
The Congress’ official rosary is helping them to do that.
The beads are made by Ghirelli U.S.A., a family-run company that’s been crafting rosaries for shrines and Popes for the last 30 years.
They worked with the National Eucharistic Congress to create the rosaries.
Its white beads symbolize purity, and the antique gold represents Jesus’ royalty. However, its most unique part is its centerpiece, which was modeled after the monstrance that was created for the Congress.
A Ghirelli employee said working on the beads has been an honor.
The rosaries cost about $39, a portion of which will benefit the Congress.
