MAY 24, 2013 • HAWAII CATHOLIC HERALD HAWAII 3 Prison ministry a two-way street Women’s Community Correctional Center inmates offer lessons in grace and forgiveness to Kailua parishioners Story apnd photos by Darlene J.M. Dela Cruz Hawaii Catholic Herald Seven inmates from the Wom- en’s Community Correctional Cen- ter in Windward Oahu visited St. Anthony Church in Kailua May 5 to share hula and testimony in gratitude for the community’s support. Volunteers from diocesan prison ministry and the Office of So- cial Ministry were on hand for the presentation. Both departments are working to provide the women inmates with in-prison assistance, and are planning projects to help them with their transition out of incarceration back into society. The inmates that traveled to St. Anthony Church are members of the Total Life Recovery program, a faith-based initiative that serves all denominations. Total Life Re- covery, or TLR, is a four-phase program where community volunteers offer life-skills training and counseling, with classes ranging from agriculture to the arts, to sessions on Christian living and healing post-traumatic stress disorder. According to the TLR website, the program aims “for the women to work to stay out of prison — not work to get out of prison.” TLR director and chaplain Tammy Turcios, who accompanied the women to St. Anthony Church, said it was a “privilege” for them to speak at two of the morning Masses. She said the opportunity allowed the women to “put a face to what the church is doing” in prison ministry. “Sometimes they can be for- gotten,” said Turcios, a member of New Hope Windward Oahu. “They are so grateful when people embrace them. It makes them feel of value that they’re forgiven.” At the 11 a.m. Mass, inmates Jennie and Kimberly shared with parishioners their stories of trans- formation through Total Life Re- covery. Jennie was a drug addict and victim of domestic violence. She dropped out of high school after becoming pregnant at the age of 14. She became involved with dealing “ice,” or crystal metham- phetamine, and eventually aban- doned her son to continue her drug habit. “The life I lived was very de- structive,” she said. Jennie had been in prison before, and upon her release, became involved in abusive relationships. She said she often reflected on these decisions with regret. TLR, however, has taught her to “turn her life over to God.” Hall and Turcios both echoed Clockwise from top: The women in- “The experience is serving me the need for more prison ministry mates from the Total Life Recovery today by making me a stronger “God has delivered me, healed me, volunteers.

He was a “beloved fig- ure” back home, known especially for his work in the city’s slums, the article said. But in Rome, he was only one of 115 cardinals converging on Vatican City who would elect a new pope. Pope Benedict XVI officially stepped down Feb. 28. He was the first pope to do so willingly since Pope Celestine V left the papacy on Dec. 13, 1294.
