Compassion and the love of knitting/crocheting have been combined into a prayerful ministry which reaches out to those in need of comfort and solace. The shawl maker begins with prayers and blessings for the recipient. The intentions are continued throughout the creation of the shawls and lap robes. Upon completion, they are blessed by a Priest and kept in the Rectory.
Anyone who wishes to provide comfort to their loved ones may request a shawl or lap robe from the Rectory.
