If anyone has the happiness of being in the Confraternity of the Rosary, he has in all corners of the world brothers and sisters who pray for him.

-St. John Vianney, Cure of Ars

Whether you have prayed the rosary daily for many years or have not yet begun, the Rosary Center is for you. In addition to information for the beginner, the Rosary Center is part of the Confraternity of the Most Holy Rosary (an Archconfraternity), a worldwide prayer movement entrusted to the Dominican Order by the Holy See over 500 years ago. Intentions of Confraternity members are united with hundreds of thousands around the world. Catholics who pray the Rosary regularly are encouraged to enroll, and for a modest fee subscribe to the newsletter “The Rosary, Light and Life.” The Rosary Center, part of the Western Dominican Province, is adjacent to Holy Rosary Church and Calaroga Terrace on the southwest corner of Third and Clackamas. Inquiries should be addressed to P.O. Box 3617, Portland OR 97208, or you may visit the office by Holy Rosary Church during regular work hours.

To further promote the rosary, beads are sent without charge to missions throughout the world. If you would like to help make rosaries for distribution, come to our monthly meetings of The Rosary Makers in Siena Hall. Many hands make light work, and in this case, the rewards are endless.
