The prayer blanket ministry gathers many people joining together to make quilts and prayer shawls specifically designed for the sick.  Fr. John blesses each blanket and the person receiving the blanket knows they are covered in prayer.  The group also prays for those who will receive the blankets.   All are welcomed to join in this ministry, no sewing skills required
