Compassion and the love of knitting/crocheting/quilting have been combined into a prayerful ministry and spiritual practice which reaches out to those in need of comfort and solace, as well as in celebration and joy.  Volunteers gather together at 4:00pm on the first Thursday of each month.

Many blessings are prayed into every stitch. The shawl maker begins with prayers and blessings for the recipient. The intentions are continued throughout the creation of the shawl.

Upon completion, a final blessing is offered before the shawl is sent on its way. Some recipients have continued the kindness by making a shawl and passing it onto someone in need. Thus, the blessing ripples from person-to-person, with both the giver and receiver feeling the unconditional embrace of a sheltering, mothering God!
