Each prayer vine/tree person gives the name to another person who keeps passing it on to others and each person prays for them. The more people in the prayer vine, the more prayers are said. There are no formal meetings. Anyone who is interested please contact the Quad-Parish Office ( ). Our council has also established a on-line prayer vine, go to and click on prayer request.
