The members of the Prayer Shawl Ministry are tasked with the beautiful and prayerful work of knitting and/or crocheting prayer shawls and baby blankets for those in need of them. Using a variety of colors and styles, these members choose from their favorite yarns to create blessed works of art that are given to individuals, nursing homes, hospitals, and those who specifically request them to provide comfort and solace to those who are suffering. They are also provided to the families of children that are baptized at the churches of Our Lady of Knock Parish, reminding them that the parish community is praying for them and that we recognize the birth of their son or daughter as a sign of great joy and blessing to us.
The work of knitting and crocheting is done both at home and during the meetings held at the church, providing the members an opportunity to share in this blessed ministry together.
