- Blessed Prayer Blankets
  
  The Women of Mary (WoM) Prayer Blanket Ministry creates lap-size blankets to give to those members of our parish or someone they know who is hurting in some way. They’re a sign of the love and prayerful support from our parish. Once a prayer blanket is requested, the blanket is blessed at Mass.
  
  For any questions about volunteering to make prayer blankets or to request a blessed prayer blanket, please call Jan Kampsen at (248) 446-0617.
