Angel Gowns Ministry
We are excited to announce a new ministry at SLM! We have created a satellite group that is affiliated with Angel Gowns of South Bay, making gowns for children who have died before, during, or shortly after birth. Generous people from all over Southern California have donated their old wedding gowns to be remade into burial gowns or wraps for these small souls and their families. Many of the donated wedding gowns come with stories of family, friends, loss, laughter. Virtually all of the donations come with a wish to give new meaning to a gown that has outlived its original purpose. (SLM will NOT be accepting donations of wedding gowns at this time.)
Some of the local recipients of Angel Gowns include: Providence Little Company of Mary Hospitals in San Pedro and Torrance, Kaiser South Bay, Harbor General, and Torrance Memorial.
Our first meeting of Angel Gown sewists will be Saturday, September 14, 2019, from 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 noon in the St. Theresa Room upstairs in the SLM hall. Our meetings are scheduled for the second Saturday of every month. Sewing skills are not mandatory. There are many jobs for many hands in the creating of these gowns.
