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 Newman Advent Giving Tree 2015

Once again, Newman's Knitting Ninjas helped give our Advent Giving tree a festive flair. We supplied the Young Parent's Group with over 150 ornaments to place on the tree along with the gift requests. The tree was bare in just about two weeks! The generous parishioners of Newman helped to bring smiles and Christmas cheer to so many around the Raleigh diocese. Thank you to all the Knitting Ninjas who worked so hard to make this happen and thank you to the Young Parent's Group who gave their all in support of this project.
