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
