If you have any questions, please Joan Finnerty at jfinnerty32@gmail.com Hand made by our loving group of knitters and crocheters, the shawls and blankets, once completed, are blessed by a priest and are then available to the sick or homebound. There is no cost to the recipient. They are FREE. Request forms are available in the Parish Office. Please consider requesting a shawl or blanket for anyone whom you think would benefit.
