The Prayer Quilt Ministry meets the first and third Wednesdays of each month in the lower hall of the church at 1:00. We are very happy to accept new volunteers. No quilting experience is necessary. Members are happy to help someone new learn how to quilt. We even have some sewing machines for a new member's use if they do not have their own.
Please contact Karen Verner for more information at k.verner.rn@gmail.com.
We also accept donations of new (unused) 100% cotton fabric as well as monetary donations to help us purchase fabric, batting, and other supplies.
The Prayer Quilt Ministry would like to encourage all parishioneers to let us know about those who are going through a significant difficulty and who may benefit from the prayers of our congregation and the tangible evidence of those prayers in the form of prayer quilts.
The recipients of the prayer quilts may be going through a health issue, facing surgery, be in the military (or just returned from military duty), dealing with grief, emotional concerns, etc. They do not have to be a member of Visitation Parish, nor do they need to be Catholic.
Anyone may offer a prayer quilt to anyone they feel may might benefit and appreciate bing covered by our prayers. The recipient MUST agree to accept the prayer quilt.
