In this workshop, we will explore the realities of mass incarceration as it relates to the pastoral needs of those incarcerated. We will discuss the ways in which emotional, mental, relational and spiritual concerns are often interwoven and require us to take a more holistic approach in our pastoral ministry. As we explore the pastoral work among the incarcerated, we will also reflect on the role and the mission of the Church in serving the incarcerated in the era of mass incarceration.
As a result of this workshop, participants will:
- Become aware of pastoral needs among the incarcerated (Families of Prisoners, Victims of Crime and Correctional Officers and Staff).
- Further define the mission of the Church among the incarcerated.
- Understand what is “Mass Incarceration” and how it effects ministry to the incarcerated.
