Prayer Shawl Ministry

The mission of the St. Pascal Prayer Shawl Ministry is to provide comfort and
support for anyone suffering physically, emotionally, or spiritually. The Prayer Shawl Ministry offers an opportunity for its members to meditate, pray, and have fellowship while working with our hands to create a gift that manifests God's loving care within the warm embrace of the shawl.

The Shawl Ministry at St. Pascal creates a wide variety of shawls for anyone in need of prayers or blessings. We pray as we knit or crochet and get together twice a month to bless the fruits of our labors. Everyone is welcome. 


Everyone is Welcome! 

You can also work from home. For more information call the rectory at 773-725-7641,

Let us love our faith, defend our faith, and live our faith!

A primary task for the pro-life movement is to draw society into deeper reflection about the mystery, wonder and value of human life. We need to promote an alternative to the technological outlook which seeks to control and manipulate birth and death, to reduce nature to "matter", to elevate having over being, to depersonalize the body and sexuality, and to replace the criterion of personal dignity with the criterion of efficiency, functionality and usefulness. Our task is to call our brothers and sisters' hearts and minds to wonder and awe.

~Cardinal George Pell, Archbishop of Sydney, "Mystery of Life Grand Prix Award Address,” January 17, 2008 U.S. Conference
