Our sincere gratitude extends to everyone who has remembered the Neighborhood Apostolate Office throughout the year and brought non-perishable food for the pantry. A group of people, just like you, who have experienced God's healing and are trained in prayer ministry may be able to help. This ministry originated in Connecticut with the Daughters of Wisdom who began knitting shawls for women undergoing treatment for breast cancer and other illnesses. One member began knitting shawls for new mothers. Others began making shawls for friends, family and others commemorating birthdays,anniversaries, love, friendship, or caring.
Women pray for the shawl recipients and each other as they knit.
Facilitators Fran Basso and Pat Rogers assist beginners and help renew former knitters. NCYC features some of the best speakers in the nation. There are workshops, live concerts, and a large park showcasing the finest in organizatons, talents and resources for youth ministry. Best of all - it's a chance for teens to connect with other Catholic teens from all over America. The Diocese of Palm Beach is sending a delegation of young people and their chaperones.
