“Covering those in need of Prayer”
The Saint Francis Xavier Prayer Blanket Ministry is made up of volunteers who make prayer blankets they sew, crochet, knit, and quilt etc. The prayer blanket is a symbol of a faith sharing community covering of prayer for the individual who receives it. The volunteers pray over the blankets as they are being made. The blankets which include a prayer booklet and a rosary are then brought to the parish office to be blessed by Father. They are stored either in the back of the church (black bin) and also in the basement of the parish office and can be distributed as needed. They are free, but any donations received will be used to purchase material and supplies. A journal is available with the blankets to enter the name of the recipient. The recipients are remembered in Prayers by the Ministry and in the Prayers of the Faithful at Mass every quarter.
The Ministry is open to anyone interested in making prayer blankets and praying for the recipients. If you are interested in being involved in the making of blankets for this Ministry, please send an e-mail to sfxprayerblanketministry@gmail.com or Join up on the Parish APP if you already have an established account.
