St. Kateri supports the nondenominational Kairos Prison Ministry at Sussex II State Prison in Waverly, VA. It responds to Christ''s call in Mt. 25: 34-36 to visit the prisoner. We do this each year through two four-day training programs, one in spring and one in fall, two one'day instructional programs and monthly two-hour reunions. You can get more information by googling Kairos Prison Ministry of Virginia or emailing Dave Kenneally at david.kenneally1@verizon.net
