In 2009, a group of ladies from our parish and neighboring parishes began a ministry focused on radiation treatment for breast cancer. These specially designed robes helped so much when women are undergoing the rigorous and exhausting courses of radiation.
The robes are used in place of regular hospital gowns that can leave patients overly exposed during treatment. Robes are given to St. Clair Hospital, Magee Women’s Hospital, Hillman
Cancer Center and St. Margaret Radiation Center to distribute to patients.
We meet once a month on the third Friday of the month in the lower level of Le Gras Hall. We begin at 9:00 am and go till noon. If you would like to join us, please just bring a pair of scissors and some pins, we provide everything else.
