Our Silent Evangelists - The Prayer Shawl Ministry at St. Francis of Assisi Parish has been meeting every Thursday for over 15 years!

With their skilled hands, they knit or crochet prayer shawls for those suffering from an illness, in body, mind or spirit. At the request of a loved one, family member or friend, these shawls are given as an extension of the ministry’s faith in the healing power of God and their commitment to serving others.

To date, The Prayer Shawl Ministry has provided over 2000 shawls filled with prayers, hope, and encouragement.

We extend an invitation to anyone who would like to join us in prayer.
Please contact the Parish Office for further information.

Donations of yarn gratefully accepted!

Out of love and compassion for all who need prayers and comfort, we gather to pray each Thursday afternoon. Prayers are offered, intentions are entered in a prayer journal, cards are sent to offer support knowing that someone is praying for them and they are not alone.

The Prayer Shawl Ministry comes to life, a tangible channel to offer warmth to those who are struggling with difficult challenges in their lives, be they in mind, body or spirit.  Use you skill with needles to knit or crochet a prayer shawl, hand-made with many prayers.  The response from those who receive these shawls is overwhelming.

If you are interested in this ministry of prayer and craft, join us at 3:30pm each Thursday of the month. See article written for The Valley Catholic.
