Everything I do with my Rosary vocation is for the benefit of the Blaise Peters Scholarship Fund, So, if I make a custom rosary for you, I'll ask you to cover my costs for parts and that's it. There is no profit in this for me. The same goes for rosary repair or anything else I may do for you related to the Rosary. But then, I also ask that you make a donation to the scholarship fund in any amount that you feel is appropriate. That's it. This is not a job for me or a second income. It's truly a vocation, one that I enjoy sharing with my community.
Motivation
I am the beneficiary of an education at several incredible Catholic schools, with even more incredible teachers. My parents, Stan & Meredith, always believed heavily in Catholic education, both having attended Catholic elementary and high schools themselves. Our three daughters all graduated from Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School. As such, it would warm my heart to know that you've helped families with their desire to provide a Catholic education for their kids.

How much?
I've been asked a few times, "how much should I donate?" I understand the question. Most people want to donate but they don't want to donate too little an amount. My response is truly, "any amount." My intent is not to make a profit or anything along those lines. I can tell you that I know of someone who donated $5 for a simple repair and another person who donated over $200 for an intricate custom rosary. Both of those are incredible! But most of the donations are around $20 or $40. I also understand that many people who donate also support other very worthy causes. So please, donate what you feel you can.
