Prayer Blanket Ministry

The Prayer Blanket Ministry sews blankets, similar to the one pictured above, for anyone who may be experiencing difficult times. Prayers are offered for recipients as the blankets are constructed. The blankets are blessed by a priest once a month after the blankets are completed. The prayer blanket is a tangible sign that each recipient is covered in prayer by a community of faith.
 
Members of the Prayer Blanket Ministry help make the blankets in the following ways:

• Sew prayer blankets at the Parish Hall at meetings to be held twice a month.
• Sew prayer blankets at home.
• Monogram the St. Albert the Great logo and the recipient’s name on the prayer blankets.
• Iron material and put finishing touches on the blankets.

 
All blankets are given free of charge.  Donations are welcomed and appreciated.  All donations are used to purchase materials and supplies for making the blankets.
Parishioners will request prayer blankets through the use of a form that will be available on the Prayer Blanket website. Paper copies of the form will also be available in the church foyer and office to request blankets.
