Prayer Shawl Ministry Meeting

The volunteer members of the SS. Isidore and Maria Parish’s prayer shawl ministry creates handcrafted shawls and lap blankets for donation to anyone in need of comfort and prayer. The shawl maker begins with prayers and blessings for the recipient. These prayers are continued throughout the creation process. Upon completion, a final blessing is offered before the shawl or lap blanket is sent on its way.

We hope that those who wear their shawls or use their lap blankets will feel the love that goes into making each one.

The Prayer Shawl Ministry meets on the third Thursday of each month from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. in the library of St. Paul Church. It is open to anyone who has the skills to knit or crochet, or who would like to learn how to do so. Whether you knit or crochet quickly or slowly, your help is welcome to fulfill the mission of spreading God’s love through prayer shawls and lap blankets.

Each volunteer takes yarn home with them and works on the shawl/lap blanket at their leisure. Whether you knit, crochet, or want to learn, there are plenty of expert helpers to get you started.
