St. Catherine’s is very blessed to have a group of volunteers to help weave Prayer Shawls for parishioners in need. Each shawl is prayed over before working on the shawl and after it is finished. When completed, the shawl is given to a Parishioner experiencing a particularly difficult time and in need of prayer. Volunteers knit our Prayer Shawls on their own time. When meetings are allowed at the church again, they will meet periodically as a group. We are always looking for volunteers willing to help with this ministry. If you’re interested, please contact our Front Office at 327-5165 or email us at FrontDesk@stcatherinesiena.org to learn more or sign up to volunteer.
