Praying Hands Ministry

The Praying Hands Ministry gathers once a week to knit or crochet Prayer Shawls, which are created with prayers and blessings for those needing comfort at difficult or challenging times in their lives. This group meets Wednesday mornings from 10 am –12 pm, but members also work at home. New members are invited.

Funeral Liturgy Ministry 

Are you already a Head Minister, Mass Coordinator, Minister of Hospitality, Eucharistic Minister or Lector? If so, and if you are available during the day, you may wish to serve in that capacity at funeral liturgies. You will be contacted by phone in advance and may accept or decline, as your schedule allows.
