The Prayer Shawl Ministry brings together people who share a similar interest to share in fellowship and to put to use the talent of knitting and crocheting to create prayer shawls that will be given away to help spread the message of God’s mercy, love and compassion.  Each shawl is created with a recipient in mind, and the person is prayed for throughout the process of knitting or crocheting.

This ministry is open to anyone who has the skills to knit or crochet or  who would like to learn how to knit or crochet. Whether you knit or crochet quickly or slowly, your help is welcome to make fulfill the mission of spreading God’s love through prayer shawls.

St. Pius X Prayer Shawl Ministry meets on the third Thursday of the month at 10:00 am.  

Giving a Prayer Shawl

Do you know someone who is in need of a prayer shawl? Perhaps you know of a friend or family member undergoing a physical or emotional challenge or someone who has experienced a personal loss or needs a tangible reminder that there are people who care, and that God continuously wraps each and every one of us in His endless love!  Prayer shawls are given to celebrate the happy occassions filled with hope too, such as marriage ceremonies, the birth or baptism of a baby.  

Blessed Prayer Shawls are available for you in the basket near the Outreach Bulletin board.  This is located near the meeting room hallway.

Dear Lord; bless my hands as I knit today.  May each twist of the yarn guide me to create a pattern of love and comfort in my work and remind me of Your ultimate protection.  Wrap me in Your spirit so that I will be more caring towards those in need.  Grant me patience as I create this shawl.  And bless my handiwork as it travels to bring comfort and peace to someone in need of Your warming embrace.  Amen.
