Volunteers Needed
Prayer Shawl Ministry
Do you love to knit or crochet—or would you like to learn?
The Prayer Shawl Ministry is looking for volunteers to help craft beautiful, comforting prayer shawls for our parish community. Whether you are an expert or a complete beginner, we would love to have you! Yarn and patterns are fully provided.
If you don’t knit or crochet but still want to help, we gladly accept support in the following ways:
- Yarn Donations: If you have unused yarn at home (or know someone looking to declutter their stash), you can drop it off at the parish office. We will gladly take it off your hands!
- Financial Contributions: Monetary donations are always appreciated and go directly toward purchasing yarn for our volunteers.
