Susan Monroe shares, “I’m originally from North Carolina, but have lived in Atlanta for 30 years; and John and I have raised our family here.  We have three grown children, a girl and two boys, and are loving being empty nesters now. I converted to Catholicism after we got married and really wrestled with the concept of saints.  If someone had told me back then that our business would be all about the saints I would have thought they were crazy!”

Rosa Mystica Medals

Susan Monroe shares:

“I started Rosa Mystica Medals back in 2008.  I had gotten over my “saint-phobia” and had even begun collecting antique religious medals because I loved how they were like little pieces of art.  I began to sell them as well, but hated when I sold a particularly beautiful one because I knew I would probably never find another one like it.  It was frustrating being able to share a unique saint or design with only one other person, so I figured out how to make replicas of them by making molds of each one and recasting them in silver at home.  I started selling on Etsy, and after several years business got so busy that I couldn’t keep up with the orders, so we began having the medals cast in sterling silver by a local shop.  John started working with me full time last August and that really has allowed us to grow the business and increase our inventory.  We now have our own dedicated website that offers over 250 medals featuring the sacraments, various devotions, and over 115 different saints; and we sell medals around the world.  We’ve really seen these medals touch people’s lives, and we try every day to make our business a channel of God’s love.”
