Prayer shawls are traditional forms of praying for others in a tangible, physical way. It is one thing to say “I’m praying for you”, but another to hand someone a physical object. Usually, prayer shawls are given to people who are in a time of suffering and need of healing. They can go to people you know, or you can donate them to total strangers.
A hand made shawl represents comfort and reminds people of care and love because it shows the thoughtful consideration of the creator and the time spent creating the shawl.
We already have a group of St. Charles parishioners working on Prayer Shawls. If you are interested in joining them and learning more about Prayer Shawls you are invited to attend a meeting at St. Charles Parish Hall on Tuesday, July 27th from 1pm to 3pm. Call Bertha LaFleche @ 895-1667 or Eva Arsenault 895-4108 for further details.
