Inmates received into the Church say faith will guide them

Archbishop Joseph W. Tobin has identified ministry to people incarcerated in correctional facilities across the archdiocese as one of six doors through which Catholics in central and southern Indiana can pass through to be missionaries of Christ to people on the margins of society and the Church. On April 22, he witnessed to the importance of this priority by celebrating a Mass at the Putnamville Correctional Facility in Putnamville. During the liturgy, he received six inmates into the full communion of the Church. (Page 11)
