Prayer Shawls: This apostolate creates shawls as a gift of prayer from the parish to the newly baptized, the ill, the bereaved, RCIA candidates, First Communion and Confirmation candidates, SJA Guild Scholarship recipients, those facing hardships, as well as those celebrating special occasions in their lives. Recipients of the shawls are not limited to parishioners. Requests for shawls can be directed to the leader, carmella.alfano@comcast.net, or to the Rectory.

All are welcome to join in knitting or crocheting these shawls of comfort and solace. Yarn is often available at no cost to members, as donated by the SJA Guild Thrift Shop.
 
Meetings: Meets every other month, starting in September, on the third Wednesday of the month and/or as announced in the church bulletin; held in the Chapel at 1:00 pm. Members are contacted at other times to receive completed shawls, or with the leader’s special requests for specific shawls. We do not usually meet in the summer months.
