SOCIAL CONCERNS

Corporal works of Mercy Catechism of the Catholic Church #2447

"When I was in prison you visited me." (Matthew 25:36)

All people are entitled to dignity and love despite their prior mistakes. The incarcerated may suffer from loneliness, health issues, or lack of friends. They might feel marginalized and cut off from family and the outside world.

Although many people may not feel comfortable visiting in prison setting, there are other ways we can show our care for prisoners. The Diocese of Cleveland sponsors programs to support inmates and their families.

If you want to get involved, contact Office of Chaplaincy Services 1-216-696-6525 Ext 2331.

It should be noted that there other types of "prisoners" such as the homeless, elderly and disabled.

We can offer our support to them as well by volunteering for such things as transportation, helping with home maintenance and in cluding them in outings/activities. 

"Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with ME."
