Prison Chaplaincy

Prison Ministry to Lotus Glen

Joe and Anne Serra from Atherton parish volunteer as chaplains visiting Lotus Glen Correctional Centre each Monday. 

Prison chaplains are very welcome at the prison but it can take quite a few months to get all the necessary documentation clearances through Correctional Services. Chaplains are the only ones who enter the units unescorted; the men always respect the chaplains because they invariably treat the prisoners themselves with respect. A chaplain's role is to listen to inmates, pray with them and offer them some hope. 

The chaplains also offer an ecumenical service on the second Sunday of each month.
