The Prayer Shawl Ministry (PSM) continues to make new shawls and lap blankets monthly. The mission of the Prayer Shawl Ministry is to provide hope, comfort, and healing. It is a unique way of reaching out to the community in a very special way. A prayer shawl can be seen as a symbolic “hug” from God. It is made with many prayers and loving thoughts attached. It is very special and much appreciated by the people who need to be comforted for a variety of reasons.
Sometimes you can’t take a big shawl or lap blanket with you. The PSM volunteers are now making pocket size prayer shawls. They will fit in your pocket or purse and have the same loving thoughts and prayers attached to them and are blessed by one of the priests.
We are always looking for new members to join us. If you knit or crochet, please consider joining our ministry. We would love to have you as part of our group
You can also help by donating yarn to our ministry. If you have any extra that you will not be using, please consider donating it. We appreciate any donations and thank you in advance.
Do you know someone that needs a shawl? Someone that needs love, prayers or encouragement? Please don’t hesitate to ask.
If you would like to join our ministry, have any questions or need a shawl for a loved one please contact Rose Mary Becker at wpbecker@att.net or call 650 941 9673.
