Mary Ruth Vegh, Chairperson
The Prayer Shawl Ministry crochet or knit prayer shawls which range in size from one you can keep in your pocket, lay across your lap, or large enough to wrap around your shoulders and arms. These shawls can be used during illness, recovery, comfort after a loss, or in celebration of happy occasions…there are endless possibilities! We also knit bibs which are handed out at baptisms. A miraculous medal or cross, prayer card, and rosary are attached to each prayer shawl or bib after which each item is blessed and the recipient’s name is entered into a prayer book and prayed for at each meeting.
We gather together the 1st & 3rd Thursday of every month from 10:00-11:15am in the Rooney room at St. Thomas More. Please call the Parish Office at 412-833-0031 if you or someone you know would like a prayer shawl, or if you would like to get involved with this special ministry. Come join us!
