Prayer Shawl Ministry

The Prayer Shawl Ministry of St. Gabe's church meets monthly to create beautiful prayer shawls for those in need of them (knit or crochet). Prayer Shawls come with a prayer attached. They are made with prayerful 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, during an illness and recovery, and ministering to others.


Parishioners can receive a shawl for themselves or someone in need by contacting the rectory at 716-668-4017, Sandy Gmerek at 716-683-6673, or Peggy Fronckowiak at 716-912-3871.

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, or you can donate any time by contacting Sandy or Peggy.  

Meetings:
1st Tuesday of the month from 1-3pm in the Parish Center.

Knitters and Crocheters are welcome!
​
Contact Sandy or Peggy for more information.
