This ministry seeks to proclaim something of God's unconditional love for each human being. As a chaplain I try to be a loving and compassionate presence to the men who are often wounded, vulnerable persons. I am continually present to the tragic element in many of the prisoners' daily lives. The daily visits of a chaplain provide the men with the opportunity to share their hopes, their fears and often their guilt in a supportive environment. Many of the prisoners experience the death of a parent or relative during their sentences and, at such times, they need great support.
Prisoners live out their lives in a violent and hostile environment.
In my ministry I try to bring hope into this environment. As a Society we have committed ourselves to practical solidarity with marginalized people. I have chosen to live this commitment through my ministry as a Prison Chaplain.
