“….we give special attention to the poorest, those who are rejected or condemned to isolation by society….we help them to rediscover the meaning of their lives, to regain their sense of human dignity and to give the Christian value to their painful condition, so that their suffering may be transformed into means of redemption for all” (CS 53)
“When I was in prison, you visited me” (Mt 25:37) Answering to the invitation of the Lord who came to call the weak, we render our service to the inmates of prisons located in different places. We realize that this is a place where we put our faith into action. We strive to become the face of love to the neglected and condemned of the society. Our sisters located at Karanodai – Chennai, Manikandam – Tiruchirapalli, Kattur – Tiruchirapalli, and Coimbatore reach out to the prisoners both men and women in collaboration with PMI (Prison Ministry of India). Every week we keep visiting the inmates both men and women at different prisons and also the inmates at juvenile prison. we listen to their owes and pains, offer them hope, give them proper guidance, counseling and the necessary helps needed to become independent organized persons. We too make visits to the families of the prisoners, offer them comfort and support them financially if needed. We are pushed to offer prayers for the prisoners who have lost their hope in life and to visit them regularly with the same heart of our dear St. Bartolomea who kept the distressed very dear to her heart.
