St. Frances Cabrini "Loving Hands" Crocheting/Knitting Ministry
Mission
To bring volunteers together for fellowship and community while providing an opportunity to use our skilled hands and open hearts to make blankets and warm clothing for those in need of love, tenderness, and security.
Vision
We based our projects on wherever there is a need to help, but we primarily make baby layette items (hat, booties, blanket) for local hospitals or centers like Birthline, Samaritan House, etc. Throughout the year, we also continually make hat/scarf (and mittens for those who like the challenge) sets and or blankets of any size to donate to the children of St. Anthony's of Padua parish in Denver in time for Christmas. During our first year (since July 2007), we made blanket/hat/scarf (and some mitten) sets in red, white, and blue for the children of the St. Frances Cabrini Military Support Group families and we sent blankets to a hospital in San Diego for their neo-natal center.

Unless otherwise notified via e-mail or in the parish bulletin, bring a lunch and drink if you plan to stay all day. There are also a few fast-food restaurants nearby if you wish to step out for some fresh air. Please know that you do not have to stay all day...some join us for just a few hours in the morning or afternoon, depending on their personal preference.
From time-to-time, we may meet at someone's house for an extra day of socializing and crocheting/knitting. if you wish to be a regular attendee to the group and want to be included in these events, please be sure to provide your phone number and home and or e-mail address.
