About Us
Hello everyone! My name in Connor Edgington, owner and founder of Para-Prayers.
Aside from owning and operating this business, I am a husband to my beautiful wife, Annie, and father to two loving and energetic children. I have a rich theological background with undergraduate degrees in Theology and Catechetics from Franciscan University ('18) with a Graduate degree on the very near horizon, all of which led me to my current job of teaching High School Theology. My passion for the Catholic faith and the power of beauty leading us to true encounters with God, is what drove me to create this business of making beautiful custom paracord rosaries.
I also created Para-Prayers in memory of my Grandad. Thinking back, it's hard to remember a time when he wasn't in the midst of making a rosary. He used to travel to Marian shrines throughout the world making rosaries and even when he was home he always had his rosary wire around his arm, pliers in hand, and a bag of beads near by. He was the one that at a young age taught me how to make rope and bead rosaries. After years of trying out different ropes and beads, in college I decided to move away from beads and start making rosaries fully out of paracord as I found it to be not only extremely durable and customizable, with so many options of size and color, but smooth, lightweight, and truly beautiful.
