This knitting/crocheting activity is a response of comfort by women for those who are in need of loving support and prayers. In 1998, Janet Severi Bristow and Victoria Galo started this ministry of solidarity as a result of their studies with Sister Therese Winter, MMS.

Sister Kathy Gazie, ACJ has years of experience with Shawl Ministry, and she will even teach you with simple knitting steps! Friends interested in offering a shawl to an expectant mother or other occasion of joy, or to people in challenging situations such as a diagnosis, hospitalization, or death, can come together for this happy, contemplative, and prayerful experience.

Date: Every 2nd Thursday of the month

Time: 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM

Facilitator: Sister Kathy Gazie, ACJ
