EPISODE #118: PROJECT ROSARY (HONORING THOSE WHO SERVE)

Deacon Pete Morales is using handmade paracord rosaries to provide spiritual support to military members and veterans. During an episode of the Cathedral Square podcast, Morales explained that his service in the U.S. Army inspired his devotion to the rosary. He crafts these military-style rosaries to offer encouragement to those serving in the military and to individuals recovering in VA hospitals and care facilities.

Morales, who was ordained to the diaconate in 2023, founded Project Rosary to help people facing hardship, loneliness, or the effects of service. The project aims to connect the military community with the Catholic faith through these practical tools for prayer. An upcoming Rosary Walk is scheduled to take place at Christ Cathedral.
