SACRIFICE BEAD FUNDRAISER
SACRIFICE BEAD FUNDRAISER
The origin of sacrifice beads goes back to St. Therese of Lisieux, who as a child carried a small string of beads in her pocket to help her count the gifts she offered to God each day. When Therese would practice a virtue, such as letting someone else have their way, or refrain from a vice, such as gossip, she would secretly reach into her pocket and "pull a bead" to Jesus.
IN ANTICIPATION OF ST. THERESE'S FEAST DAY OCTOBER 1st, SPP STUDENTS WILL OFFER EXQUISITE SACRIFICE BEAD CLASPED CHAPLETS ALONG WITH DAILY PRAYERS AND SACRIFICES TO ALL SPP DONORS DURING THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER
When Therese of Lisieux was a little girl, she used a string of beads to count her gifts to Jesus that she offered Him throughout the day.These gifts consisted of prayers, sacrifices, and "good deeds/acts of kindness." SPP parishioners may now join St. Therese in offering "small things with great love".
