The Franciscan Crown: The Joyful
Mysteries in the Lives of the Virgin Mary
and Saint Francis of Assisi. By
Robert Melnick, OFM Conventual and Joseph
Wood, OFM Conventual. Printed in
Assisi, Italy.
The Franciscan Crown Rosary is a seven
decade rosary which commemorates the joys of
Our Lady (The Annunciation, Visitation,
Nativity, Visit of the Magi, Finding in the
Temple, Resurrection, and Assumption and
Coronation of Our Lady). An indulgence
is attached to the recitation of this
Rosary. For much information on this
Rosary,

This beautiful, small booklet contains
photos of mosaics located in the Chapel of
Perpetual Adoration at the Conventual
Franciscan Shrine of Marytown, Libertyville,
Illinois. An appropriate Scripture
verse, a writing from one of the lives of
Saint Francis of Assisi, and a prayerful
meditation accompanies each photograph so
that the reader may more easily ponder the
mystery as he or she prays.

Angels Gift Shop also offers a Franciscan Crown Rosary for donation. Please see
