History:
The Prayer Blanket Ministry began in January, 1998 at the Prince of Peace Catholic Community in Houston, Texas. This ministry involves the sewing of lap-size blankets that are given to many people who are either sick or going through extreme difficult times in their lives.
Caring volunteers commit to prayer for the recipient as they are fulfilling their part in the construction of the blanket.
Each month the blankets will be blessed by a priest. Each person who receives a blanket is put on a prayer list and lifted in prayer.
The prayer blanket is a symbol of a "faith sharing community" prayiing for the individual who receives the blanket and their family members.

Mission:
To bring relief to the suffering and peace to the fearful. As one uses the blanket, may they know that they are not alone. There are those who care about them and are praying for their healing. This beautiful act of sacrifice before the Lord truly transforms this blanket into a prayer blanket whose very threads become interwoven with pleas for healing on behalf of the recipient. The recipient becomes "covered in prayer".

This is a non profit ministry, supported by the generosity of volunteers. The following items are always welcome and needed.
