Wanted: Volunteers For Prison Ministry

Amarillo—Do you have the time to ministers to our brothers in white, while performing a Corporal Work of Mercy?
 
Volunteers continue to be needed for prison ministry at jails and prisons throughout the Diocese of Amarillo, according to Deacon Andy Gonzalez, diocesan Prison Ministry Coordinator.
 
“In particular, we need volunteers for the T.L. Roach Unit in Childress and the Dalhart Unit,” he said, “but volunteers are needed at all of our jails and prisons in the diocese.”
 
Deacon Gonzalez added that two Kolbe Prison Retreats are scheduled this year. The first is Thursday, Oct. 24 to Saturday, Oct. 26 at the Clements Unit in Amarillo and Thursday, Nov. 14 through Saturday, Nov. 16 at the Roach Unit in Childress.
 
“We are asking for volunteers from the Knights of Columbus, from those who have attended an ACTS Retreat or a Cursillo and others who feel called to this ministry,” Deacon Gonzalez said. “We encourage those interested in prison ministry to volunteer your time and talent to reach out to our incarcerated brothers in white.”
 
For additional information or to volunteer your gifts of time and talent, please contact Deacon Gonzalez at 463-0262 or Kent Hoelting at 679-1725.
