The Pat Gawdun Quilting Ministry at Notre Dame of Mount Carmel Parish is named for its founder, the late Pat Gawdun. The Quilting Ministry is dedicated to providing comfort to those in need. By using our time, talents, and treasures, we share God’s love through our handiwork.  The fruits of our ministry, lap-size quilts, help provide healing and comfort to the sick, the lonely, and the elderly. 

Not only do we donate a quilt to Project Appalachia to use as they see fit, but we also give several quilts to Operation Appalachia for families in that area.  We donate any Linus quilts that come our way to TABLE OF HOPE in Morristown. Last year we donated ten quilts to needy families through the Father English Center in Paterson. Some members also make food bags for the interfaith food pantry.  We try to work with other parish ministries to help with their missions as needed.
