Our mission is to perform corporal works of mercy through the use of members’ talents such as knitting, crocheting and sewing. We focus on agencies within the Archdiocese of Hartford, along with homeless shelters, The Villages for Families, American Friends of Kenya, Hospitals and our troops.

The Helping Hands Ministry usually meets the second Tuesday of the month at St. Joseph Church hall from 9am to 11 am. We meet from September through June and our meeting dates are published in the bulletin. 

Meetings for 2023: Sept 12th, Oct 10th, Nov 14th & Dec 12th.

The Helping Hands Minsistry consists of about 20 active members with an additional 15-20 who make things at home and send them in. We cross charities with the Prayer Shawl Ministry and help each other fulfill the requests from different groups.
