Benedict's Beads was founded as Mediatrix Rosaries in 2010 by a Benedictine College student, Brad Geist, as a means of selling custom twine rosaries. As time went on, Brad discovered bead and chain ladder rosaries and switched his product line to exclusively offer them instead of twine rosaries. In 2013, Brad discerned a call to "come and see" and entered St. Benedict's Abbey in Atchison, KS, taking the Benedictine habit and the name Br. Benedict Mary. During the three years he spent discerning monastic life, Brad restarted Mediatrix Rosaries and re-christened it Benedict's Beads, earning money for St. Benedict's Abbey. After a time however, Brad discerned that his vocation was not at St. Benedict's Abbey and, receiving a dispensation from his simple vows, began life anew outside of the monastery, though never forgetting his time there or the formation he received. Benedict's Beads still offers fine handmade ladder rosaries in the spirit of St. Benedict- adopting the motto of the Benedictines of "Ora et labora" (Prayer and work) in its work of making exceptional rosaries for the greater glory of God and his Blessed Mother.

Early Christian pilgrims to the Holy Land began walking this route and a desire to reproduce these holy places eventually led to the devotion of the Stations of the Cross in the 14th century. It is a well known devotion which is...

The Kant-Tangle rosary is unique in that the crucifix has two loops at each end of the long bar so that the rosary can link together and make a continuous chain. The design comes from Fr. James McNamee of the Diocese of Oklahoma and was intended to prevent tangles and knots. Submitted in 1942, it was actually one of the first rosary designs to receive a US patent. We offer it in our mini-Rosary size (4mm beads) only.
