Announcement    Welcome to Benedict's Beads! Here you will find our most popular or specialty rosaries. We do custom orders, which can be placed by messaging us on here on Etsy or by going to www.benedictsbeads.com where we also show all the options that we have available to make your perfect ladder rosary. All of our rosaries are handmade when you order. Our typical turn around time is now 1-2 weeks on small rosaries, 2-3 weeks on all others.

Ladder rosaries are unique in that the beads are turned sideways and linked into chain on both sides, making them exceptionally strong. Due to this fact, we guarantee our rosaries for life. If you break them, we will fix them for free.

Benedict's Beads specializes in exceptional quality ladder rosaries that are made by Brad Geist, a former Benedictine monk, and his wife Ciera. Brad received a solid Benedictine formation through his time at Benedictine College and St. Benedict's Abbey. This business, under the name Mediatrix Rosaries, began in 2010 while Brad was a student. He joined the monastery in 2013 where he began it anew as a way to earn money for the abbey. He re-christened it Benedict's Beads after the founder of the order. The business grew to what it is today under the Benedictine values of prayer and work, as well as the unwavering devotion to the Blessed Virgin that the Benedictines are renowned for. Though he is no longer a monk, Brad and his wife Ciera still hold firmly to these values, performing their craft for the greater glory of God (RB 57:9).
