It starts, as it always does, with a quiet moment of reflection. Before a single stitch is sewn, the ladies of the Star of the Sea Church Catholic Women’s League gather and say a prayer for people they may never meet, but think about often — people sitting in chemotherapy treatment chairs at the Walker Family Cancer Centre. Then, the sewing begins, hand stitching hats for those receiving cancer treatments — chemo caps they call them. And not long after, the laughter starts.
