The prayer shawl ministry is a powerful spiritual practice that combines compassion with the love of knitting and crocheting. It reaches out to those in need with comfort and solace—and with celebration and joy. Recipients of shawls include homebound people, those in hospitals, and numerous others. Many blessings are prayed into every shawl.
The Rush-Henrietta Catholic Churches (RHCC) Prayer Shawls chapter includes Guardian Angels, Good Shepherd, St. Joseph's Churches, and the RIT Catholic Community. Please join us for fellowship and prayerful knitting. For more information, contact MaryEllen Arden.
