Prayer Blanket Ministry

The Prayer Blanket Ministry provides comfort and prayers to individuals in need by offering handmade blankets, either crochet or fleece, which are blessed by our community and given to those suffering physically or going through difficult times.

To request a prayer blanket, you can contact the ministry leader or fill out a request form on the church website. Alternatively, you can reach out through the parish office.
