Prayer Shawl Ministry

Over the centuries, shawls have come to symbolize shelter, peace, and spiritual comfort. The Prayer Shawl Ministry at Transfiguration has members who lovingly donate their time and talent to crochet or knit shawls for those in need of God’s blessing and grace. Each stitch is a prayer for the recipient and God’s love is present as the shawls are given to people going through a change in their life, pain, a medical challenge, or anyone in need of God’s comfort and healing. Shawls are available to anyone at any time.
To be involved in the Prayer Shawl Ministry or to request a shawl, please contact the Parish Office at 651-738-2646.

Pro-Life Ministries

Pro-Life Transfiguration is an umbrella group intended to affirm, encourage, and support the whole gamut of pro-life activities by parishioners and friends of Transfiguration. By your Baptism and Confirmation, you have been commissioned to do pro-life work for Jesus and his Church – you do not need anyone’s permission! That said, you will almost certainly benefit from affirmation, cooperation, encouragement, and support from like-minded Catholic Christians.

To learn more, please contact the Parish office at 651-738-2646.

Food Shelf Collection

Transfiguration supports those in need by collecting food and delivering it to the North St. Paul Food Shelf. You may drop off non-perishable food items in the Gathering Space, along the south wall by the Storage Room. If you are able to use your vehicle to deliver food to the Food Shelf, please contact the Parish Office at 651-738-2646.

Giving Tree

The Giving Tree is an opportunity for our parish to reach out to those less fortunate in the Christmas Season. We collect gifts for various social service organizations in our surrounding communities. Parishioners donate gifts, food and cash, enabling us to provide gifts and food for more than 700 children and adults. Volunteers are always needed, and planning starts each October.

Please contact the Parish Office at 651-738-2646 if you are interested in helping.

Help our Veterans

We collect adult clothing and personal hygiene products all year round. You may drop them off in the gathering space. We accept new and gently used clothing, shoes, boots, blankets, and towels. All socks, underwear, and hygiene items must be new. We have parishioners deliver the items each month to the Veterans group, Every 3rd Saturday, to help stock their free supply store.
