The Women’s Guild March 12th meeting will host the Answered Prayers Project that creates an opportunity for women to share life’s hopes and journeys. Each woman will paint a provided cross while sharing their stories of faith and hope. The painted crosses are given back to the Answered Prayers Project that then fires and finishes the art work.

Women participating will receive a finished cross made by other women of faith, thus passing their prayers of hope on. The journey of each cross begins by registering its individual number on our website – answeredprayersproject.org and you can see where your artwork ends up. This is optional. Membership in the Guild is not necessary, all women of the parish are welcome,
