Participation is not limited to either Parish, or even to just Catholics. This ministry welcomes all people who want to knit or crochet. Most of us work on Prayer Shawls that are blessed and presented to the sick or grieving, since that's our focus.
However, it isn't a requirement. Many also knit baby blankets and hats, many of which are sent for children in Afghanistan or to others in need. We also welcome those who want to learn to knit or crochet.
Peace & Blessings!
