Most of us are familiar with the Corporal Works of Mercy, but the instruction to visit those in prison can be a challenge to many Catholics. Maybe we are held back by fear or intimidation or perhaps we don't know how to help or where to start.
Today I'm joined by Scott Underwood, Associate Director with the Office of Correctional Ministries for the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, Trey Mirenda, a Catholic chaplain with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and Tony VanDerbur, the Executive Director of Christian New Creation, which runs Isaiah House and Providence House.
Together, they share stories of hope, forgiveness, and transformation from their ministries to bring Christ to those incarcerated in the prisons and jails located across the Archdiocese.
