The making of a prayer shawl is a spiritual practice which embodies thoughts and prayers for the receiver. It is a gift freely given with no strings attached. Made in prayer, as prayer, for prayer, the shawls are passed on hand-to-hand and heart-to-heart.

A prayer shawl or blanket embraces the recipient with the unconditional love of the Lord. It is a gift reaching out to those in need of comfort and solace as well as in celebration and joy. Prayer squares are given to those going on mission trips, working for social justice. Many blessings are prayed into every item we make.

The Justice Walking Small Faith Group

For the second year in a row, our ministry is contributing to Newman's Justice Walking Small Faith Group. I am posting a link, which explains the program, and encourage you all to check it out.

Our contribution? A beautiful prayer cloth which will be the focus of their meetings. Mary Beth crocheted together 16 -12 inch squares made by our members. Father John blessed the cloth at our meeting on January 17. Our ministry is humbled and honored to contribute to this unique discipleship process.
16 squares make up the prayer cloth.
