Florida Council of Catholic Women/Province of Miami at P. O. Box 1811, Labelle, FL 33975 US - PRAYER BLANKET MINISTRY

Members pray for the intentions of the sick as they sew small blankets.  These blankets are given to the sick to bring them comfort as they use them with the knowledge, that the prayers of the parish cover them and they are not alone in their time of physical sufferings and anxieties.  Fabric hearts are sewed onto the blanket with a Medal of the Immaculate Conception tucked under it; then the blankets are prayed over by parishioners during parish gatherings and blessed at Mass.
