Event Description:
Men simply copied the realities of their hearts when they built prisons. -- Richard Wright
The Partnership for Re-entry Program (PREP) is a ministry of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles composed of clergy and laypeople who work with participants in all California prisons, in over 25 out-of-state facilities, and in Albania! The focus is to work with the Lifer population to empower them through various correspondence course to heal and transform their life and return to the community as a faithful citizen. 😊 The PREP panel will talk briefly about what brought them to minister at PREP, what they do at PREP and about PREP.
