MISSION STATEMENT
Our mission is to provide hope, comfort, and healing to those who most need a reminder of God’s love for them through the work of our hands and the prayers in our heart.
We meet every Tuesday at 10:00 AM -12:00 Noon in the Holy Family Room. Prayer beings at 10:30 where we offer prayers for all those in need and for our personal intentions.
The Prayer Shawl Ministry offers a warm, soft, hand-knit or crocheted shawl to those who are sick in body or in spirit. Made by members and friends of the parish, the shawls are a way of surrounding the recipient with prayer and the love of the parish family.
In addition to the prayers that are said when the shawls are started and finished, all shawls are accompanied by a loving message and are blessed before being given away.
WHAT IS A PRAYER SHAWL? It is a work of love and the Holy Spirit. Each time we gather to work on the shawls, we start by praying. We have lively conversation and companionship while we work with our hands creating something for others.
Our ministry is open to everyone - even if you don’t have the time to attend meetings. Shawls can be created at home on your own time and at your own speed.
Shawls are freely given to anyone of any faith in love and prayer.
