The Prayer Quilt Ministry makes quilts for critically and
chronically ill persons. Any parishioner can request a quilt after getting
permission from the person who is to receive the quilt. The length of time
to fulfill a request depends on the number of requests, the number of
finished quilts on hand, how many workers we have to make the quilts, and
when the next meeting is.
The Prayer Quilt Ministry meets the first and fifth Tuesdays of each month
to pray and work on the quilts. All are welcome to join us - no sewing
skills needed. Sometimes we need fabric washed, ironed and cut into
squares; squares laid out to design quilts; pockets hemmed and sewn onto
the back of quilts; and threads sewn throughout the quilt to be tied; and
dots placed near the threads to identify the threads that need to be tied.
Work can be done at home if you're unable to join us for the Tuesday
meetings.
After a quilt is presented at the weekend Masses for prayers and tying it
is checked to make sure that all the threads are securely doubled tied,
then the threads are trimmed. The quilt is then ready to be picked up
after the Tuesday Mass or the following weekend by the person who
requested it.
