The Prayer Blanket Ministry is a new ministry at St. Anthony Parish. This ministry involves making lap-size blankets that are given to parishioners who are in the hospital. Volunteers commit to prayer for the recipient, as they are fulfilling their part in making the blanket, the blankets are then blessed by a priest. Every person who receives a prayer blanket receives a tangible symbol of the love and prayers of the Saint Anthony Community.
Each Blanket is a Gift of Love
God uses this ministry to touch the lives of the people who receive the blankets and those who make the blankets.
We are fortunate to have parishioners who give abundantly of their time and talent.
These prayer blankets are meant to bring relief to the suffering and peace to the fearful. As the individual uses the blanket, they know that they are not alone, that there are people who care about them and are praying for them. This transforms the blanket into a cloth interwoven with the prayers and blessings offered for the recipient.
