St. MARY CHURCH

Prayer Shawl Ministry

The Wrapped in Love Prayer Shawl Ministry continues to meet on Wednesdays at 10am in Cotter Hall.

The Wrapped in Love Prayer Shawl Ministry of St. Michael Parish began in 2007. The purpose of this ministry is to gather women together who wish to prayerfully craft items, which are then blessed by our priest or deacon and then given away to those who are ill, recovering, in a care facility or simply in need of comfort and prayer.
Most of our yarn has been generously donated by our members or friends of the parish.

Using much of the donated yarn, we have also crafted baby blankets, sweaters, hats, scarves, socks and lap robes and distributed these works of love to St. Vincent DePaul, our troops, Neighbors for Newborns, Rockingham VNA and New Generation. Since our inception, we have given away over hundreds of hand-made items!

We meet in Cotter Hall every Wednesday morning during the schoolyear, from 10-11:30. We begin and end each meeting with a prayer so as to have our Lord’s blessings on all that we do. The patterns we follow are very simple. The women who gather have varying degrees of skill and we are always ready to help those who require assistance with their project! All are welcome to join this meaningful ministry...
 

"We  welcome new members & are willing to teach or refresh knitting skills to anyone interested!"
