Prayer Quilt Ministry
Prayers & Squares,
Chapter 1204, “The Kwiltin Krew”
Prayers & Squares is an interfaith outreach ministry that combines the gift of a hand-tied quilt with the gift of prayer for someone in need.
A “Prayer Quilt” is a lap sized quilt made by members of our ministry. During weekend masses the entire congregation is invited to “tie a knot, say a prayer”. As each knot is tied, a silent prayer is offered for the recipient in special need. The quilt is then given to that person.
Who gets a quilt? Quilts are given to persons of ALL ages that are in physical, emotional, or spiritual crisis who feel they can benefit from being “covered in prayer”. They are given for healing, comfort, strength and peace to the sick, the injured and the dying. Judgments are never made as to their need.
“Prayer Squares” are given in situations where a prayer quilt has not been requested, but the individual is in need of prayer or when time is a factor
