Mary’s Cousins, a group at Resurrection Catholic Parish, makes prayer shawls, baby blankets, hats and scarves for those who are suffering or in need. They are shown working behind a pile of bags holding 106 warm blankets they created for Catholic Charities clients. Roberta Dechert and Lois Miles are seated at left; Veda Thomas and Laura Hamel are standing; Marilyn Ogorzaly and Deanna Johnson are seated at right. Not present: Jane Mize and Nancy Schuh.

 

When someone – a frail elder, a person who is sick, or a disabled child perhaps – receives a prayer shawl from a group called Mary’s Cousins, a blue card with a prayer is attached.
