Prayer Shawl Ministry
- Wrap Yourself in Prayer
  
  Prayer shawls are given for many reasons:
  To support those who are experiencing a loss or struggling with serious illness.
  To celebrate the birth of a child or a special anniversary.
  To accompany those moving away from St. Rose, reminding them of the love and prayers of our community.
  If someone you know is in need of a prayer shawl, please stop by the office or ask a member of staff after one of the weekend Masses.
- Healing Touch
  
  We believe that a prayer shawl acts as a healing touch reminding those who are sick, alone, uncertain or afraid that, along with our loving and compassionate God, our faith family is with them - holding them in prayer and lifting them in love. Prayers of strength, courage and hope are prayed into each shawl, hoping they become a channel of grace for the recipient. In the process, we grow in our relationship with God and with each other.
- Join Us!

Ministry Prayer
- You knit us together in our mother's womb.
  Now you gather us together in this circle of prayer.
  O Loving One, join us together in this minisry of healing.
  May these shawls be a sign of your loving presence,
  mantles of comfort and protection.
  O Christ who healed the broken in mind and spirit,
  we ask your blessing upon those who will wear these shawls.
  Grant them strength when they are weary.
  Ease their suffering.
  Remind them that they are loved.
  Grant them peace.
  Amen
