Shawls have brought comfort, relief, and the blessings of prayer to the sick, the mourning, and anyone of whom it is asked. Requests received for a shawl, lap robe, or baby/child blanket bring on-going prayers of encouragement, strength, hope, and comfort to the receiver.



To put in a request: Please take and complete a form, located next to the "Request" box at either church, then place it in the box. This box is checked regularly.

To donate: There are self-addressed envelopes provided at the "Request" box at both churches.
1) Place the envelope in the "Request" box, or
2) Mail your donation directly to Eileen Davenport in the envelope provided, or
3) Drop the envelope in the collection basket at Mass. 
Eileen Davenport is an Associate with the Sisters of St. Joseph and oversees the Sisters' Carondelet Weavers with whom St. Kateri Tekakwitha parish's Prayer Shawl Ministry is a partner.

We sincerely thank you for your generosity and ask for your prayers over this ministry and its many members who help make someone feel loved.

If interested in volunteering: We also need knitters and those who crochet, as well as people who can package the shawls. Please use the contact information listed below.
