The idea for this ministry began many years ago but finally came to fruition at the end of 2018. The mission of the Prayer Blanket Ministry is to create a handmade lap blanket, infant or preemie blanket filled with the power of prayer for those in need. The blessing of the Prayer Blankets provides healing and comfort to the recipients. All of our parishioners are invited to request a Prayer Blanket by submitting the name of a loved one who has experienced an illness. We hope and pray that this ministry will be a beautiful gesture demonstrating our love and support for one another. The Prayer Blankets are sewn by one of the dedicated and talented members of this ministry and we are all volunteers. We say a prayer as we sew each blanket and prepare it for someone to receive. Once the blanket is complete, it is then blessed by one of our loyal priests at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass providing healing and comfort to the recipients.
The Prayer Blanket ministry currently has 12 volunteers who sew and quilt. We are always looking for more volunteers.
