Sewing Ministry
The sewing ministry began by making baptism stoles for babies. We then went to more challenging projects as requested by the pastor. We have made adult baptism garments and stoles for the Easter Vigil. We have made 3 sets of vestments for deacons, covers for the statues (to be used during Lent) and extra large coporals and the cloths for the front of the tabernacle. We meet only when there is a project to be discussed or distributed, approximately twice a year.
