Prayer Shawl Ministry
This Ministry crochets or knits prayer shawls or small lap blankets for those in need of prayers, warmth and comfort. The recipient is held in the crafter’s thoughts and prayers throughout the time they are crocheting the lap blanket. All of the shawls or lap blankets are blessed by one of our priests or deacons. It is lovingly wrapped in a gift box, ready to be presented.If you know of someone who would be comforted by one of these blessings, please let us know!
