Prayer Shawl Ministry

"Wrap Yourself in Prayer" 

For the past 12 years, members of our ministry have been knitting and crocheting prayer shawls and lap blankets for those in need. 

Prayer shawls are given for many reasons:

• To support those who are experiencing the loss of a loved one

• To journey with those who are struggling with serious illness

• To celebrate the birth of a child or a special anniversary

• To accompany those moving away from St. Rose, reminding them that the love and prayers of our community go with them.   

We believe that a prayer shawl acts as a healing touch, reminding those who are sick, alone, uncertain or afraid that, along with our loving and compassionate God, our faith family is with them - holding them in prayer and lifting them in love. 
 
Prayers of strength, courage and hope are prayed into each shawl, hoping they become a channel of grace for the recipient. In the process, we grow in our relationship with God and with each other.

The prayer shawl ministry meets in room 1 of the Family Life Center at St. Rose of Lima.  

• Morning group meets: 1st and 3rd Thursday of the month, 10:00 - 11:30AM 

• Evening group meets: 2nd Tuesday of the month, 7:00 - 8:30 PM - September thru June 

We invite anyone interested in joining this ministry of healing to stop by. If interested in more information, please contact: Lee Zawacki at 508 393-9253 or zawackil@charter.net.
