Prayer Chaplets

The many configurations of chaplets include those used to honor and petition our favorite patron saints, Mary, and Our Lord, some in the form of a novena chaplet. The ten-bead chaplet ("tenner"), one of the most popular, is usually used as a pocket rosary but can also be used as a prayer counter for other devotions. Some favorite chaplets: Chaplet of The Infant Jesus, Chaplet of St. Anthony, Chaplet of St. Michael, Precious Blood Chaplet, Chaplet of St. Patrick, Our Lady of Guadalupe Chaplet.

Irish Penal Rosary

One of the earliest tenners, the Irish Penal Rosary, came into use during the Penal Times, a time of religious persecution of Catholics in Ireland. This small version of the rosary was more easily concealed than a traditional rosary. One end of the penal rosary had a long, narrow crucifix that could be hidden up the sleeve. At the other end, a ring, used to count decades as it was moved from one finger to the next.
