Arrive once a week on Wednesdays, with other regular lay ministers around noon and meet in the chapel. Engage in one-on-one counseling with time for fellowship and camaraderie; all gathered then participate in a Catholic communion service or Mass based on priest availability. When priests are available, inmates are able to have their confessions heard by the priest. |
| Activities Members Are Involved In |
Arrive and meet with the inmates in the chapel. Many times they request conversations to listen and help with their personal issues. At times, the group may watch a film or have a group discussion.

The Gospel is presented as the living word of God with encouragement to apply lessons in their own lives. |
