Magdalene Prison Retreat

ALthough the details are slow in coming, three Corpus Christi  SMM releasees met with a Catholic Volunteer at the Cathedral there, and started a freeworld SMM Branch 003.  Correctional Director, Fr Montemeyor, brought them to the Bishop that very day and they received his blessing to begin meeting twice a month for Catholic parish support, mutual prayer& the Sacraments, and Sistership encouragement.  More later.
