Prayer Shawl Ministry

The Shawl Ministry provides an opportunity to combine the care and love of knitting into a prayerful ministry that reaches out to those in need of comfort and solace.  Many blessings are knitted into every shawl.  If you know of someone who would benefit from a prayer shawl contact the Pastoral Ministry Office.

Volunteer Opportunities

Our Prayer Shawl Ministry offers comfort to those who need it. Their handmade shawls have reached 100’s of parishioners and beyond. Shawls can be knitted/crochet in a group around faith conversations or individually in a quiet place at home.  The shawls that are knitted go to those experiencing loss and sickness, or who might be homebound and are in need of comfort.

Ways you can help:

  • Donate yarn! If you have yarn sitting in your closet that you haven’t used.
  • Donations of gift cards to Hobby Lobby, JoAnn’s Fabric, or other places where yarn can be purchased is also appreciated. You can drop off donations at the parish office. Preferably no rug, baby or sport yarns.  Skeins of yarn instead of balls of yarn are also preferable.
  • Donate cash! So yarn can be purchased.
  • Knit or crochet shawls at home or together once a month at the parish.

Thanks for helping our dedicated knitters and crocheters share God’s love and comfort!

The yarn, patterns, and prayers can be provided.
