"When I was in prison, you came to see me" Mt. 25:36 - Bishop celebrates Mass with prisoners

News of the Diocese

December 14, 2011

Cleveland Bishop, Most Reverend Richard Lennon, celebrated Mass with 60 inmates at the Cuyahoga County Justice Center in an annual preparation for Christmas.

 

   

Organized by the Diocese of Cleveland Ministry for the Incarcerated, the Mass included full participation by the inmates. Click here to see additional images from the liturgy.

 

The Cleveland Diocesan ministry to the incarcerated is an outreach of volunteers from many parishes of the Diocese who make it possible for the Church to be present in all of the State, County, and many Municipal correctional institutions in the eight counties of the Diocese. Volunteers visit inmates each week to meet with those who are incarcerated in order to pray, listen and conduct support groups and to provide for very basic needs.
