On Wednesday, May 13, members gathered at St. Aloysius for a meaningful Prison Ministry “Words of Hope” meeting. Volunteers created 50 handwritten postcards filled with encouragement and support for participants in the Support Court Program Book Club.

The postcards were prepared as invitations to the new book club initiative, where participants will begin reading The Alchemist. Each message was thoughtfully written to offer hope, inspiration, and a reminder that others are praying for and supporting them on their journey.

This simple but powerful ministry reflects the Order’s mission to uphold the dignity of every person through compassion, encouragement, and human connection.
