Sylvan Mattingly

Sylvan Mattingly

Sylvan Mattingly ( - †1951) was a Catholic teacher and missionary worker who in 1949 founded what grew to be the largest Catholic Rosary making group in the United States.

He was a member of the Xaverian Brothers and taught at the St. Xavier High School in Louisville, Kentucky in the 1940s.

He was inspired by the message of Our Lady of Fatima to make and spread the Rosary and in 1949 made an initial trip to Denver to teach people how to make rosaries. Upon his return, with $25 donated by an old couple for a typewriter, he formed "Our Lady of Fatima Rosary Making Club" in the basement of St. Xavier High School.That organization later grew to be Our Lady's Rosary Makers which has 17,000 active members in the United States and has distributed hundreds of millions of free rosaries worldwide. Mattingly died in 1951 in Louisville, Kentucky.
