Prison Ministry Carteret Correctional Center During this Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy, Pope Francis s wishes to extend Christ s word and mercy (Plenary Indulgence) to all, even the incarcerated and shut-ins. And the Pope adds meaning to his letter and intentions on bringing Christ s mercy to all by washing the feet of the incarcerated on Holy Thursdays. This past December, Catholic Prison Ministry was re-started at the Carteret Correctional Center (CCC), Newport, NC after a lapse of several years. CCC is a North Carolina Minimum Security prison. The Catholic Services are conducted 6-7pm on Tuesday nights. The ministry is supported by Deacons and Volunteers from three parishes within the New Bern and Newton Grove Deaneries and includes reviewing of Catholic teaching (catechesis), review of scripture readings of the day or Sunday Mass; as well as, Confession and Mass/Communion or Communion Services. Volunteers are needed to enable the ministry to be consistently conducted on a weekly basis and assist those driving from extended distances to support the program. Some of these volunteers are supporting Prison Ministry at three prisons within 100 miles. Anyone interested in volunteering or inquiring about the Prison Ministry program at CCC is asked to call the parish office or contact Jim Strange. Who are the Men of St. Joseph? We, the Men of St. Joseph, are a group of Catholic men dedicated to becoming the spiritual leaders of our families by strengthening our faith and being real world examples of Christ. Our group bolsters discussion of faith and prayer life specifically for men, giving men new ways to reflect upon their lives and be better servants to God and their family. The result is nothing less than a revived culture, the same culture that Pope John Paul II called the Culture of Life. Our mission is To put the family in the hands of the Father. We believe it is time for men to step up and take a leadership role in guiding their families, friends, parishes and their communities towards Christ and the fullness of His Catholic Church. We welcome you to join us on this journey on Sunday nights. We meet at the Knights of Columbus House at 6:00pm and start with dinner. Please contact Jason Gordon 252-622-8079 or pardus108@hotmail.com for more information.
