Prayer Blanket Ministry Junior Troop 1186's On-Going Service Project

The Prayer Blanket Ministry was introduce to us by St. Mary's Catholic Church of Texas City, Tx, in April 2003. This ministry involves the sewing of lap-size blankets that are given to many people who are either sick or going through extremely difficult times in their life. Upon completion, each blanket is then blessed by one of our priests. The prayer blanket is a symbol of a faith-sharing community's covering of prayer for the individual who receives it.

This ministry is a not-profit project that is being served by Girl Scout Junior Troop 1186 from Christ the King Catholic Church. Our Troop adopted this ministry in the spring of 2003 and continue to serve our community. The girls in the troop have given their time to create and make these blankets themselves.

Who is Eligible to Receive a Blanket?

Anyone: adults or children afflicted physically or emotionally. Many blankets have been given to those stricken with cancer, heart surgery, illness, and others who just needed to feel the enormous gift of love and warmth that emanates from these small blankets.
