ANGEL CORPS
Angel Corps provides caring assistance to parishioners who are unable to attend Mass because of illness, disability or age. We minister to parishioners in hospitals and nursing homes and those who are homebound. Volunteers bring the Eucharist, pray with sick or elderly parishioners, and help with other services as needed. Our Angel Corps volunteers honor the privacy of those they visit.

PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY
Do you know someone in need of a Prayer Shawl? Do you know someone who is hurting from the loss of a loved one or a job? Or, Do you know someone suffering from illness or family stress? Please consider giving this adult or child a PRAYER SHAWL, which has been made by caring parishioners. The person hopefully, will feel the prayers, blessings and love when wrapped in the Prayer Shawl. Each shawl is blessed by one of our priests and when possible, prayed over by the Joyful Hope Prayer group. The adult or child does not need to be a parishioner or even Catholic. There is no charge for these shawls, but donations of yarn or money are always welcome to help defray costs! You can pick up a Prayer Shawl at the Parish Office, Mop,monday-Friday, from 8am to 4pm (closed for lunch from noon-1pm). The shawls can also be found in the Adoration Chapel 24/7 or in the Usher’s Closet at church during the weekend Masses.
The Prayer Shawl Ministry would love to have more volunteers who like to crochet, knit or cut fleece to join us in making these Prayer Shawls.
