Prison Ministry
- Saturday Morning Reflections -
The Philoptochos Prison Ministry began in 2023 with our yarn drive, continued into 2024 with our soap drive, and now includes our monthly Saturday Morning Reflections sessions with the women at Taconic State Correctional Facility in Bedford Hills, NY. On the first Saturday of the month, a group of women visits with incarcerated individuals for prayer and meaningful discussions around theme-based quotations from the Bible and other sources. “Inner stillness” and “patience” have been among the topics discussed. The Prison Ministry is a particularly rewarding and special experience where we engage in intimate discussions with women who share their personal stories and who appreciate the visits from the group.
