St Joachim/St Joseph Prayer Blanket Ministry

The Prayer Blanket Ministry of St. Joachim/St. Joseph’s Catholic Church began in the parish in May 2010. A prayer blanket is a lap covering or a shoulder w rap that is sewn, knitted or crocheted and given as a sign that the recipient is “in our prayers.” The blankets are made prayerfully with the intentions of the receiver in mind. Each month blankets are blessed during a parish liturgy.
Blankets /shawls are given to people who need our support in any way. There is no cost, or limit on who may request a blanket. People of any denomination may request a blanket. Those who are sick, grieving the loss of a loved one, recovering from an operation, or distressed, depressed, whatever the need, and regardless of church affiliation. Donations of supplies, or monies for supplies, are accepted.

You can help in this work and/or be a part of this ministry by:

1. Requesting a blanket for a loved one.
2. Making a blanket or shawl.
3. Donating yarn or material.
4. Donating money to be used to buy yarns/materials.
5. Committing to pray for those receiving a blanket or shawl.
