Making sense out of suffering
In a world of division, doubt, and desolation, the promises of Our Lady of Sorrows are something you can count on. Our mission is to share the consolation of Our Lady of Sorrows and turn sorrow into joy for everybody who suffers. Inspired by the call of Our Lady of Kibeho to reintroduce the Seven Sorrows Rosary, we do this primarily through our booklets and resources to hospital chaplains and pastors.
About Us
Our journey began with a book about the Seven Sorrows Rosary, titled "Something You Can Count On." That book led to parish events called "Everybody Suffers." Now we are providing resources to chaplains in hospitals, where truly everybody suffers.

Hospitals are where "Everybody Suffers"
And where we aim to bring consolation from Our Lady of Sorrows.
Yet Hospital Chaplains are so overwhelmed, they have little time to minister one on one.
That's where our resources come in!
 Each of our booklets is designed to turn Sorrow into Joy.
Each booklet is a short, easy-to-share, easy-to-read introduction to the consolation of Our Lady of Sorrows.
By sharing this devotion with the suffering, we place them in the arms of Our Lady who will accompany them to their eternal home.
