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.

Newman's Craft Fair and Bake Sale

Red and white tablecloths filled the Activity Center, greeting all those who stopped in to purchase Christmas gifts or just take some cookies home for desert. Quiches sold quickly. There were virtually none left after the 9:00 AM liturgy. Soup kozies were gone after the 5:15 liturgy on Saturday evening.

Thank you, Newman parishioners, for your support of our craft fair and bake sale. Proceeds totaled nearly $2,000. Thank you for contributing your hand-crafted creations and baking all those delicious goodies. The success of this sale could not have happened without your support!
