Original Franciscan "Third Order" -- Confraternity of Penitents Make Every Day a Path to Holiness

 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. Through the Alessandro Ministry, incarcerated men and women may enter formation in the Confraternity of Penitents, live the Rule while in  prison, and prepare to live the Rule when released.

A Sign Of Light The meaning the Jesuit priest serving at San Quentin finds on death row.

 A Sign Of Light http://disq.us/t/3ntiok9  A Sign Of Light The meaning the Jesuit priest serving at San Quentin finds on death row. Words by George Williams, S.J. Illustrations by Matt Chinworth. 14 Mar 2020 “For this is my body, which will be given up for you.” Saying these words, I lift up the host for the men inside the cage to see. The “chapel” in San Quentin State Prison’s death row is a windowless old shower room encased in a heavy metal cage. Inside are six wooden benches bolted to the floor upon which the members of my congregation sit. I stand, a black stab-proof vest over my priestly vestments, inside my own cage about twice the size of an old phone booth.
