 Prayer Shawl Ministry - (A ministry for you and those near to you.)  


Letting you know. . . 
Prayer Shawls are always available for you.  They are created as tangible evidence of God's presence in times of need - comfort in illness, in times of unusual stress, anxiety, decision-making, guidance for self or others, when children leave home for school or otherwise, etc.  They are available in the Father Pio Room in the cabinets under the windows.  A sign out book is on the counter. There is no contribution; they can only be "given".  You can also contact the parish office for help or any CCW member.
