I started this web site 15 years ago (originally at ipraytherosary.org) as a place to share info about the rosaries that I've made. I subsequently added info about rosary repairs and other rosary-related activities that I've taken on. Crafting a rosary in any fashion has become a small ministry for me. And as I hold the beads of a rosary in disrepair, I can't help but feel the power of all of the Hail Mary's that have been prayed over them.
Fast forward to 2020 and the worldwide pandemic. We've all seen good come from tragedy, and this web site and my life are no exception. Like tens of thousands of Catholics around the world, I've been praying the rosary for years, but now I just decided to turn on the camera and ask others to join me. So I started the Rosary Garden podcast, where we pray the Rosary live every week.
My non-podcast activities have been growing in recent years, so much so that in October 2024, four years after starting the podcast, I decided to split the web content into two sites. The Rosary Garden podcast is on its own site while all other Rosary-related activities (custom rosaries, repairs, rallies, etc) are featured on this site at RosaryX.com. I just felt that the podcast itself was starting to be drowned out by all the other stuff (a good problem to have). And while all this other "stuff" is good stuff, it just bothered me. Now, with the podcast along with all past recorded episodes being on its own site, I hope it's easy to find what you're looking for.
About Me
My name is Scott Crevier and I'm a lifelong Catholic. My faith was nurtured at some pretty cool Catholic schools:
I'm a 3rd Degree Knight with the Abbott Pennings Council of the Knights of Columbus and I've been a member of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Parish in De Pere, WI for 27 years. I've been involved in many ministries in my life, mostly singing at Mass (since I was a kid). One of the most rewarding roles I've held was the 10 years I spent as a catechist at Our Lady of Lourdes, working with high school sophomores and juniors, exploring our Catholic faith together and helping them prepare for the sacrament of Confirmation. And beginning in 2024, I'm helping to organize the OCIA program at OLOL.
I'm one of the organizers of the annual Rosary Run Motorcycle Ride, where a group of us bikers ride the beautiful roads of rural Wisconsin, stopping at five locations to pray a decade of the rosary at each.
I have many rosaries, the most special being the few that were handed down to me through my family. My favorite rosary, by far, is one that my three daughters made for me for my 48th birthday. One of the most special aspects is that while they were making it, I was also making a rosary for my mother, so they did not have access to my tools. As such, they used a traditional needle nose pliers. For years, when I would take it out of my pocket to pray, something would fall off. So I'd get out my tools and make the repair with a warm heart and a smile on my face. This rosary is rich with their imperfections, I love it so much. There is no other rosary like it in the world and I'm constantly in awe of the time and effort my girls put into making it for me. It's been a few years now since I've had to do any repairs on it, I miss that.
All of these experiences, a solid Catholic upbringing by my parents, caring teachers, faithfilled priests, thoughtful Confirmation students, along with an incredible wife and the most loving daughters a guy could want, have made me a rich man. Those close to me know that I often refer to my home as the "mansion", which of course is a place where a rich man lives.
I hope you'll be in touch.
