Comfort for Christmas
The Prayer Shawl Ministry will offer the comfort of prayer shawls to those who are sick or in need of comfort.
The shawls will be available in the main vestibule of the church after the 9:00 a.m. Mass on December 21.
Recipients can wrap themselves in warmth knowing that the prayers of the parish are with them.
There is no charge for the shawls.
The Prayer Shawl Ministry consists of caring people who meet to pray while knitting or crocheting shawls or similar items made for those who need comforting in times of sickness, death or celebration. Prayer Shawls surround the recipient in prayer, beauty, peace, and love and are a tangible sign of the parish’s prayers and wishes for comfort.
We are a devoted ministry and are humbled and inspired by one another and our mission. As a faith community, we are called to share the gift of our hands. We welcome all skill levels and can teach beginning knitting and crocheting techniques. Supplies can be provided. Prayerful stitching is a great way to be faithful, relax, meditate and be creative while providing care and comfort to others.
Our motto: Make sure to take time to stitch and pray with each and every passing day.
