The Prayer Shawl Ministry is newer to St. Gabe's church, ​and meets weekly to create beautiful prayer shawls for those in need of them (knit or crochet). Prayer Shawls come with a prayer and medal attached. They are made with prayful intent for the the receiver. Father blesses the shawls and those who create them.

Shawls can be used for: undergoing medical procedures; as a comfort after a loss or in times of stress; during bereavement; prayer or meditation; commitment or marriage ceremonies; births; nursing a baby; bridal shower or wedding gift; during an illness and recovery; ministering to others and other social occasions.

Parishioners can receive a shawl for themselves or someone in need by contacting the rectory at 716-668-4017. or Ann Bauman, who leads the group, at 716-684-1732.   

If you'd like to donate a prayer shawl but can't make the meetings, you are welcome to do so!  There are also times during the year when this ministry requests yarn to make the shawls; there will be a notice in the bulletin when yarn is needed.  

Meetings:
Tuesdays at 1 p.m. in the Parish Hall.
Knitters and Crocheters are welcome!

Contact Ann Bauman at 716-684-1732 for more information.
