Prison Ministry Sunday celebration in the Central Jail, Bangalore


Ray of hope through Faith: 26th September 2011


The brethren in the Parapana Agrahara Central Jail, Bangalore had a day of great joy and hope as the N.G.O, Prison Ministry India which works for the welfare of the prisoners and their families celebrated their Patron Saints day on 26th September 2011. The day was celebrated in commemoration of St. Maxmilian Kolbe who sacrificed his life in the Nazi concentration camp in order to save the life of a fellow prisoner who was the breadwinner of his family and was condemned to death. The Archbishop of Bangalore, Most Rev. Bernard Moras celebrated Holy Mass along with other priests in the Prison chapel for the benefit of the Prison inmates. He prayed for all the brethren and said “ All of us are sinners, but those who seek forgiveness from God are blessed with pardon and grace to begin a new life.”
