O
ur mission is to provide access to opportu-

process which takes many forms. We're here to
walk along side you on your own chosen path.
It includes a respite center where homeless
persons can recover from surgery in a safe &
supportive environment, a day center with
case management, and an array of meetings
to support those living sober one day at a time.

Prison Ministries
S
ince the first centuries, Christians have
followed Jesus' lead by visiting the impris-
oned. The primary mission of prison ministry
is to bring God's love and mercy to all, to offer
hope to those who may be in times of chaos
and treat the incarcerated with dignity. Dea-
cons assist at Mass, lead Communion services,
Scripture studies and facilitate RCIA.
The Director of Prison Ministry, a deacon,
coordinates and directs clergy, religious and
lay Catholic volunteers by scheduling ministry
work at prison facilities. He recruits, trains, and
supervises the volunteers, as well as leads the
RCIA process for the prisoners. The Director
also coordinates facility staff and national
diocesan prison ministry groups.
The Director is working to introduce new
programs that include a Victim Ministry. This
ministry will include family member support
groups, annual liturgical events for victims of
violence, and referral programs for additional
assistance to those in prison and their families.
