 Original Franciscan "Third Order"  -- Confraternity of Penitents Make Every Day a Path to Holiness   Donate Alessandro Catholic Prison Ministry https://www.franciscanthirdorderpenitents.com/catholic-prison-ministry The Alessandro Prison Ministry welcomes prisoners who are genuinely interested in growing deeper in their Catholic faith through study and through living a religious Rule of Life.

 An Evolving Inquiry of Monastic Spiritual Care for Aging Inmates Alex Bishop1 and Kevin Randall2 Author information Copyright and License information PMC Disclaimer Abstract This investigation involved focus-group inquiry of the Oblates in Prison Program, a faith-based ministry founded on monastic principles in the Rule of St. Benedict. Data from a Benedictine Order monk and program coordinator, ordained prison minister, and lay ministry volunteer were collected.

A second theme centered on purposeful rebuilding of self-renewal through stability and obedience. A final emergent theme encompassed institutional acceptance in the provision of religious sacraments, sacred texts, and artifacts. Results highli...
