A group of dedicated women gather to either crochet or knit prayer shawls on the first and third Wednesdays of each month at 7:00 pm in the IHM Room in the Meehan Center from September through June.
The group begins with a prayer for all those who will benefit from their ministry and then they bless all of the shawls that have been completed.
These prayer shawls are then placed in the prayer shawl box located to the left of the front doors as one enters the narthex of church.
Any parishioner who is in need of healing or else knows someone who needs prayer is invited to take a shawl from the box. The women of this ministry ask that the parishioner sign the book located in the lid of the box with their name and the name of the person who will be receiving the prayer shawl so that the person can be included in prayer.
