Washing Feet: An Example of Service or Something More?

Jesus Washing Peter's Feet by Ford Madox Brown 1852-6 So, during supper, fully aware that the Father had put everything into his power and that he had come from God and was returning to God, he rose from supper and took off his outer garments. He took a towel and tied around his waist. Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and dry them with the towel around his waist. - John 13:2-5 Today, in 2024 A.D., we don't give much thought to these few sentences. The impact of the activity of Jesus is lost on us because a) We wear shoes everywhere.

Raise Funds. Spread Devotion to Our Lady

Just some of our beautiful rosaries!!
Real Life Rosary would like to team up with your parish, school, pro-life group, or church organization.  We've created an easy way for you to get funds to your group while helping people grow in their faith and devotion to Our Lady and Her Son.

With our Faithraiser program we do it all, well, almost all.  We make the rosaries and other items, we build the webpage for your group, we handle the orders, we handle the shipping, we even pay the taxes (seriously, we'd do that anyway).

So, what do you have to do?  Simple, spread the word.  Once your group's page is up and running (within 24 hours after approval) all you need to do is tell people to go there.  Each group's page is given a specific ID code so we know that the money goes to your group.  The more people who know about your page, the more funds you'll get - 20% of each sale!

Once you sign up, and we approve the group, you're free to tell the world, shout it from the rooftops, or by carrier pigeon.  However, we'd suggest bulletin announcements, emails, posters in Church, FaceBook and Twitter posts, you get the idea.  But hey, if pigeons are your thing, go crazy bird man!

Visit our Faithraiser page to see the details and sign-up.  If you have questions, let us know.

Good luck and God bless you all!  Jim, Nicole and Family
