A donation of $15 will be accepted at the door. To register, please contact Irene Woodard at cal2penn@gmail.com. Please put “Women at Prayer” in the subject line of your email.

Don’t know how to knit or crochet, but would like to learn?  We will teach you. 

The Prayer Shawl Ministry will meet on Tuesday, July 5 in Leo Hall from 9:30 a.m.-11:30 a.m.  All are welcome to attend.   Meetings are monthly on the first Tuesday of the month.

Not interested in knitting or crocheting but would like to contribute?  The shawl ministry is always in need of yarn.  Donations of yarn, or gift cards to JoAnn’s or Hobby Lobby, may be dropped off at the meeting or in the parish office at your convenience.

Members of the parish community are an essential part of the RCIA journey in supporting the candidates as they seek to follow Christ.

Looking to get involved in and serve your parish community?  Consider being a sponsor to an RCIA candidate.  Not sure you are the right fit?  Here are some qualifications for a sponsor:

• Practicing Catholic, 16 years of age or older
• strong prayer life (attends Mass weekly, Adoration, etc.)
• displays the virtue of friendship (a good listener)
• wants to share their faith with someone on their own faith journey

A sponsor is not a catechist and does not need to know everything about church teaching. The primary job of a sponsor is to be a spiritual friend.

Take time to pray if this is your calling to serve the parish and accompany those embarking on their faith journey.

If you are interested or would like more information, please contact Alycia at 717-564-1321 or alaureti@sclhbg.org for more information or to be placed in the database.
