St. Francis - St. Maximilian Parish at 62811 New Haven Road, Ray, MI 48096 US -  PRAYER BLANKETS

knots? Christian Outreach Commission is calling

all people interested in making blankets.

Would you be interested in donating your time

as you watch TV at night to make a prayer blanket

for a sick parishioner? The blankets will be given to any

parishioner fighting through an illness. Our blankets will remind

them that the parish is praying for them. Hopefully this

will give them comfort. You can start this project immediately.

The blanket size should be lap size (or crib size - a little

larger than a receiving blanket but smaller than a single bed

size) – so that it would be easily transported with the patient

to the hospital, or to wrap around shoulders or legs while confined

in bed or wheelchair. The blanket can be of any regular

blanket or quilt material but should be easy to wash. We will

gather the blankets throughout the spring and summer. Is

anyone interested in organizing the collection of these blankets?

In the fall we will have a healing mass where the ill in

our parish can be anointed, blessed, and prayed over. At that

time we will have the blankets blessed before they are distributed

– at the Mass and throughout the year. Let’s not have

idle hands when they can give such comfort. For more information

contact: Kathy Quayhackx at 586.749.8449. We have

had a donation for supplies if you would like to help but are on

a limited budget – we’ll get you the material. We need you!!
