More Details
Saint Rita is the patron of impossible situations. As we pray the St. Rita of Cascia Chaplet, we ask for her intercession. It has classic prayers and more. We wire-wrapped the beads so that there would be enough space between them. It is easier to hold onto that way.
History of the 9-Bead Chaplet
According to The Raccolta: A Manual of Indulgences, the 9-bead chaplet is at least 500 years old. They were likely in use before the late 18th Century. They have 3 groups of 3 beads with a saint medal or Crucifix in a closed loop or stretched out in a strand. At first, only convents and monasteries made them. Over the centuries, they have become more readily available.
Prayers
On the medal or Crucifix, we ask for the intercession of a particular saint. Then, we pray one Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be on each group of beads. There is a partial indulgence when we say the sets of prayers this way.

Packaging
Each chaplet comes with a sturdy prayer card. It explains which prayers to say on which beads.
Suggestion
It is a good idea to store your chaplets and prayer cards together. Since chaplets have unique bead groupings and prayers, the prayer card and chaplet need to stay together so that you can continue to use them.
