Prayers and Pray Shawls--Church of the Ascension

Every afternoon CWL member Rosemary Fontenla sits in her “!Quiet place” and gets her knitting needles and rosary out. She follows the tv rosary while praying over the beautiful prayer shawls she creates with love and skill.

When she has finished a half dozen she brings them to our monthly meetings and Father Thomas blesses them.

They are distributed not only to the home bound and sick but the homeless that need warmth.

“ These labours of love are blessed twice, once when I pray the rosary and again with Father.” Said Fontenla.
