Relief supplies
Rice, garri, soap, detergent and sanitary items, gathered by the groups in the weeks beforehand.
There is a place for everyone
The Chaplaincy is not one undifferentiated crowd. The men have the CMO, the women the CWO, the young people the CYON, and the charity work draws from all of them. Each group keeps its own calendar and its own executives, and each is a way of belonging rather than merely attending.
If you are not yet in a group, speak to any executive after Mass.
Our organisations and societies
Every member of the Chaplaincy belongs to a group. Each keeps its own calendar, its own executives, and its own record of members.
What a visit involves
Arranged with the Nigerian Correctional Service in advance, and the same each time.
Mass and confessions
The Chaplain celebrates Mass inside the Centre and hears confessions for anyone who asks.
Sitting with people
The part that is hardest to photograph and matters most: time spent listening to the men and women held there.
The next visit needs supplies
Whatever you can give goes into the boxes that go through the gates.
