Blessed Prayer Blankets
The Women of Mary (WoM) Prayer Blanket Ministry creates lap-size blankets to give to adults and children who are hurting in some way. They’re a sign of the love and prayerful support from our parish. Once a prayer blanket is requested by a parishioner, the blanket is blessed at Mass.
For any questions about volunteering to make prayer blankets or to request a blessed prayer blanket, please call Jan Kampsen at (248) 573-7039.
