PRAYER SHAWLS CANNOT BE MAILED. THEY MUST BE PICKED UP AT THE PARISH OFFICES.
Why a Prayer Shawl?
Prayer Shawls are a tangible sign of God's love and the prayers of a community. They are the result of the love and prayer put forth by a dedicated group of women. As they knit and crochet these colorful shawls, they pray that the needs of the recipient be met by our Almighty Father in heaven, who knows ALL things! Below are a few details about our shawls:
the general size of shawl is 20" by 50"
a medal and/or cross is added to finished shawl
shawls are blessed by clergy before given to recipient
there is no charge for prayer shawl
