A Creative Ministry
In 1998, Janet Bristow and Victoria Galo gave birth to a ministry as a result of their experience in 1997 Women’s Leadship Institute at the Hartford Seminary of applied Feminist Spirituality under direction of Professor Miriam Therese Winter, MMS.

Compassion and the love of knitting/crocheting have been combined intoa prayerful ministry and spiritual practice which reaches out to those in need of comfort and solace, as well as in celebration and joy. Many blessings are prayed into every shawl.

Besides the obvious reasons of comfort during illness or grief, the shawls can be given for times of joy and celebration, such as: nursing shawls for new mothers, baptisms, birthdays, bridal gifts, ordinations, upon entering a nursing home, rites of passge, etc.
