10mm, Fire Polished, Faceted, Black Diamond Czech Glass Beads Goldtone Finish Fillagree Goldtone Bead Caps Goldtone Pewter St. John Vianney Center (St. Philomina Reverse) 2" Goldtone Pewter Tree of Life Crucifix Overall Length: 11" Item #563 All of our priests, in all areas of ministry, need our constant prayers and encouragement.  The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has asked us to "Please pray for our priests that they may always be faithful to their sacred calling". This is a beautiful chaplet especially made for the "Year of the Priest" as proclaimed by Pope Benedict XVI.  Pope Benedict has declared St. John Vianney, Cure of Ars, as the "Universal Patron of Priests".  The "Tree of Life" crucifix brings to mind the fact that only through our priests can we receive our Source of Life, the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. This is the perfect gift for your favorite priests, or for anyone on your list. It will also be the perfect compliment for your personal prayers for priests and a wonderful remembrance of this special year to honor and pray for those called to this, most important, ministry. Prayer instructions included. International orders are welcome! All Rosaries/Chaplets & jewelry  in my store have been personally handmade by me. See our other rosaries at JRMrosaries.com
