This ministry provides crocheted and knitted Baptismal blankets, pocket prayer shawls for First Holy Communion and Confirmation and lap robes and prayer shawls for parishioners or their loved ones. We also make hats, scarves and mittens for the Coat Drive for the Knights of Columbus and contribute items to Warm – Up America. We gather monthly on a Saturday morning (usually the third Saturday) throughout the year 10:00 – 11:30 to obtain yarn, share progress and turn in completed items. Most of our “work” is done individually outside of these meetings. Participants range from novice to expert. Those wishing to learn to knit or crochet are welcome. Participation in the ministry provides fellowship and seems to strengthen and deepen friendships.
