Respect Life Month: Prison Ministry

“People in prison are still people, made in the image and likeness of God. No matter what someone has done, they deserve the opportunity to hear the Word of God and find the Truth of the message of Christ.”—from usccb.org website

Deacon Tommy Benoit and Deacon Shelley Joseph lead our prison ministry. They are always in need of volunteers to help them. We need women who would like to visit with female inmates on Wednesday nights from 7:30 PM until 8:30 PM. We need men to visit male inmates on Wednesdays from 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM.

The inmates really look forwards to our visits. We have a communion service and often pray the rosary. If you feel called to this ministry or have any questions, please call the church office.
