The Prayer Blanket Ministry are members of the parish who create and construct blankets for special needs. These blankets are blessed at mass and given to parishioners in need of comfort and prayers due to illness, surgery, physical or emotional illness.
The Holy Family Parish Blanket Ministry provides comfort to those in need of support and prayer. A community of faith relies on God and one another to travel life's journey. Prayers are offered for recipients as the blankets are constructed and thereafter are blessed by the priests.
