Prayer Shawl Ministry
The Holy Rosary Prayer Shawl Ministry is a heartfelt expression of faith and compassion. Each shawl is prayerfully created, with blessings woven into every stitch from the first loop to the final knot.
Shawls are knitted or crocheted and offered as gifts of comfort, hope, and love. They may be given during times of illness, loss, or hardship, as well as moments of joy such as weddings, births, baptisms, or other life transitions.
Some recipients continue the blessing by passing their shawl on to someone else in need, allowing the love and prayers to ripple outward. Each shawl is a tangible reminder that the wearer is wrapped in care, embraced by community, and surrounded by God's presence.
The Holy Rosary Prayer Shawl Ministry gathers once every couple of months in the Bride's Room at Holy Rosary. Shawls are created at each maker's own pace and in their own time. Reimbursements are available for yarn purchases, and we also have a generous supply of yarn on hand to help you get started.

The Seven Sisters Apostolate is a call to strengthen the Church by ensuring that a Holy Hour is prayed each day of the week for the sole intention of a specific priest or bishop—a "holy wasting" (cf. Mt. 26:10) or lavishing of prayer for his deeper conformity to Christ.
We currently have a Seven Sisters group praying for our parish family pastor, Father Matthew. We are in need of another group for our Parochial Vicar, Father Okumu. A group could also form to pray for Father Madigan.
The coordinator of each group is known as the Anchoress. Each member of a group commits to a Holy Hour on a distinct day of the week, thus covering a complete week. The commitment is to that day; the Seven Sister may pray at any time on that day. If she is unable to offer her Holy Hour, she is to secure a substitute, explaining the Apostolate's mission. The substitute need not be a woman. If unable to arrange a substitute, the member should contact the Anchoress for assistance. Sisters are asked to make a 1-year commitment. The Anchoress is asked to make a 2-year one. Usually June to June to coincide with the month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
