| Shawls about to be blessed at a Holy Redeemer Mass. |
Prayer Shawl Ministries are non-denominational. Many Christian churches throughout the world have formed them.
Knitters and Crocheters volunteer their time, and many also contribute the yarn that goes into the shawls. Some groups accept donations of yarn and other knitting supplies.
Every group operates autonomously with one thing in common: the shawls are never sold. They are knitted or crocheted with prayers for the recipient and given away after being blessed. Prayer Shawls are meant to show comfort and caring to those who receive them.

| Shawls arranged before Mass. Candles not yet lit and overhead lights not on yet. |

| More shawls added to be blessed at Mass. |

| Another version of a triangle shawl. In this case, there wasn't enough dark pink to complete it, so light pink was added. Turned out rather nicely. |
 |
| Gail models a shawl knit lengthwise. Many shawls are knit from the short end. These stripes are created by knitting the long edge instead. |

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