Craft Society & Prayer Shawl Ministry

St Mary’s Catholic & Crafty is a group that gets together to share fellowship and talents. We create uniquely Catholic items that are intended to serve as tangible signs of God’s love and compassion. These symbols of God’s love are often best, and most uniquely expressed, through His people, as they work together to strengthen and encourage each other. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, yet it was kind of you to share in my distress” Phil 4:13

• all will be encouraged to pray the rosary faithfully, listening carefully for the whisperings of the Holy Spirit in the Holy Silence found in deep, contemplative prayer. St Mary’s Catholic & Crafty is dedicated to

• Providing a prayerful ministry that combines ritual, care and compassion with the love of crafting items

• Providing a fellowship of people working together to make God visible to the world, enabling us to care for others in a straight-from-the-heart approach. The items produced are made with prayers as they are crafted; in fact, the knitted shawls currently under construction are true “prayer” shawls as the pattern utilizes parts of the rosary as the mnemonics making the pattern easy to remember, and therefore making this a very portable project.

Donate materials such as fabric, beads, lace, time, talents, financial, and most importantly, pray for our group, for our recipients and for each other as we seek to manage our lives faithfully and to His
glory.

We have an evening meeting the fourth Tuesday of each month. Meetings include time for fellowship, explanation of strategies and techniques, and exchange ideas and materials.
