"…We can have no genuine hope of peace and salvation apart from Christ crucified!" (Servant of God Jacques Fesch) No one is beyond repentance and redemption. |
"...as you did it to one of the least of these...you did it to me."

In the Parable of the Sheep and Goats, Jesus powerfully and plainly lays out how we love him through those suffering in our midst, and what we must do to spend eternity with him in heaven. The Church codifies these as the Corporal Works of Mercy: feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked, shelter the homeless, visit the sick and imprisoned, and bury the dead.
Visiting the Imprisoned is perhaps the most underrepresented Work of Mercy by Christians today. Yet Christ - who, himself, was a prisoner - calls us to minister not just to the victim, but to the offender as well. Prison ministry benefits society as a whole, as recidivism and "generational" crime are reduced by religious participation among incarcerated persons, in conjunction with community-based rehabilitation and restoration programs. Working toward offenders' redemption and rehabilitation isn't merely an obscure religious duty, it's an important community responsibility with serious societal implications. As we have in 2025, Christ Crucified will continue to step into the breech with prison ministry in 2026. We seek to fulfill our mission of making Christ known and loved through his Passion to those who are incarcerated, so that our crucified Lord may bring repentance and redemption, healing and hope, peace and purpose, rehabilitation and restoration, reconciliation with victims and restitution, for the betterment of our communities and society.
