Knitting with the Sisters: The Prayer Shawl Ministry
Prayer shawls are knit by anyone in the Visitation community, be they experienced or novice knitters. The knitter prays for the unknown recipient every time she picks up her needles; so the finished shawl is laden with prayers. The shawls are distributed to Sisters, alumnae/i, students, faculty or staff members who are coping with a serious illness. The shawls provide the recipients with comfort and surround them with a tangible presence of the prayers and support of the Visitation community.

Thursday, March 27th
Monday, April 14th
Wednesday, May 14th
Monday, June 16th

If you are a family member or friend of a family member, of one of these individuals and have a graduation photo or individual picture at the approximate age of high school graduation, please contact the Visitation Alumnae Office at 651-683-1757.
