“The family is experiencing a profound cultural crisis, as are all communities and social bonds. In the case of the family, the weakening of these bonds is particularly serious because the family is the fundamental cell of society, where we learn to live with others despite our differences and to belong to one another; it is also the place where parents pass on the faith to their children.” The Joy of the Gospel, Pope Francis I, n. 66

Prayer Shawl Ministry

This is a ministry of prayer and of the hands. Members create prayer shawls, scarves, and quilts for people experiencing both joyful events, such as births and weddings, or difficult times of illness or loss.
