Our Ministry Began in November 2010

WELCOME!

We are less than a year old and have distributed over 50 hand knitted or crocheted shawls. They're done in various styles and given to people in need of blessing and comfort. They are never sold. However, the ministry does accept donations and makes use of yarn others may no longer need.

Here are some of the lovely shawls knit with love and prayers. These were blessed by Father Karl Schray of Holy Redeemer Catholic Church in North Bend, OR.

Our shawls are presented in appropriate gift bags and
given with a hand made gift card. Some of those
amazing cards are shown below.

These photos were taken in the Parish Rectory, where we meet.

The following poem is enclosed in the cards distributed from Holy Redeemer.


Many poems are available at the official website for the Prayer Shawl Ministries, which began in1998 or 1999 and have spread worldwide.  Visit them at:   http://www.shawlministry.com/    They also have patterns and information.


Peace & Blessings to You
and on all you do in emulation of Christ,
In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. 
 Amen.
