The Needlework Ministry was formed in May 2005 by a group of knitters and crocheters who are dedicated to using their creativity for charitable purposes.  To date we have donated:

 

      150 chem caps          44 baby clothing items          66 scarves                21 lap robes

        58 hats                   22 baby blankets                  9 blankets               17 pairs of mittens

 

To the following organizations:

   University Hospital                    Tamar's Children          Johns Hopkins Hospital              Project Linus

   Bayview Medical Center            Veterans' Home           TLC Assisted Living                  Christopher Place

   Headstart/New Orleans            My Sister's Place           Hamilton Nursing Center           Franciscan Center

 

Anyone who knits or crochets, or would like to learn, is welcome to join us.  We meet at 7:15 pm on the first Thursday of odd-numbered months in the Parish Center at St. Anthony of Padua.

If you can't knit or crochet and would like to support us, we can always use donations of yarn.  Just mark it for the Needlework Ministry and leave it at one of the entrances to either Church or at the Parish Center.
