Break Open the Word at Taycheedah Correctional
We are looking for individuals who would like to share their faith and Break Open the Word with the ladies at TCI. This would be a once a month commitment of about 1 hour at TCI plus time for preparation. Teams of 2 or 3 individuals each will be put together and scheduled to rotate each week. Please prayerfully consider reaching out in faith, hope and love to the ladies at TCI. What a beautiful way to live out our call to evangelize. We hear in the Gospel of Matthew: “I was in prison and you visited me. Whatever you did for the least of my people, you did for me.” Mt 25: 36, 40. If you are interested or would like more information, please contact Erin Cobb at the Parish Office at (920) 921-0580.
