Prayer Shawls are given to people undergoing medical procedures, as a comfort after a loss or in times of stress. Shawls are used during bereavement, prayer or meditation, marriage ceremonies, birthing or nursing a baby, during illness or recovery, and while ministering to others. There are endless possibilities. All shawls are blessed by Father Richard before they are presented to anyone. If you feel someone could use the comfort of a shawl please call the rectory at (508) 634-5435. If you would like to join this ministry we meet the first Wednesday of each month at 6:00 p.m. in the Bell Tower Room. If you have any questions please contact Mary Maffia at (508) 473- 8041 or Barbara Iwanow at (508) 381-1089.
