The Rev. Joe Barrett, parochial vicar for St. James Basilica, Jamestown, and chaplain at the James River Correctional Center will share his experiences of prison ministry in a presentation next week.
The presentation will start at 7 p.m. Monday in the basilica. Barrett came to the Fargo Diocese in 2005 from Holy Apostles Seminary in Cromwell, Conn., with his first assignment including ministering to those imprisoned.
“These are special people with particular needs and challenges,” Barrett said. Deacon Jim McAllister, Sanborn, and Deacon Carl Orthman, Valley City, will join him in a panel to present some of those challenges and explain the different programs and opportunities including Residents Encounter Christ and the week-to-week involvement with the prisoners.
The public is welcome to attend this free presentation.
