A prayer shawl is handmade from yarn while praying. It is given to another to offer comfort and peace in the loving presence of God. We are blessed at St. Mary's to have parishioners and even some non-parishioners who prayerfully knit or crochet prayer shawls for members of our faith community who are experiencing illness, loss and other life challenges. Much comfort, consolation and prayer is received by those who receive them.
*We have trainers who are available to teach these skills!
If you would be interested in knitting or crocheting a prayer shawl or making a donation to purchase "Homespun" yarn for our parish knitters, or if you know a parishioner who would benefit from receiving a prayer shawl from this comforting ministry, please notify the Parish Office.
Thank you for supporting this ministry through your prayers.
