The Prayer Shawl Ministry knits, weaves, or crochets shawls while praying for God’s blessing on those in need of pastoral care. The end product is not only a lovely source of warmth, but also a tangible comfort. Each shawl represents the loving witness of prayer offered by the St. Mary’s community. Anyone who enjoys needlework, regardless of skill level, is welcome to take part. Meets monthly on fourth Thursdays, but this one is rescheduled due to Thanksgiving.
