Prayer Shawl Ministry

MISSION: As part of our Christian calling to serve God and others, the people of Our Lady of Peace Parish wish to provide prayerful comfort and support to those of our community in special need of healing and consolation. The mission of the Prayer Shawl Ministry of the parish is to prayerfully create knitted or crocheted shawls for those in physical, emotional or spiritual crisis. It is our hope that the gift of these blessed shawls from the parish community to our loved ones in need will provide not only physical warmth and comfort, but also embody our constant prayers for them as they seek God’s grace and healing.

WHAT WE DO: Members crochet or knit prayer shawls for distribution to members of the parish community, families or friends known to be in need of prayerful support.  We work on the shawls at our own pace and gather at 7:00 pm on the second Tuesday of the month in the Old Rectory to knit and crochet together.  Our members have a wide range of skills, and even if you do not know how to knit or crochet but would love to learn, we would love to have you join us!

CONTACT:

If you know of any need in your circle of friends or family, please contact the Parish Office or a Ministry member and a shawl will be provided. Please know that no need is too small and the recipient need not be a member of our parish.
