ST. NICHOLAS PRISON MINISTRY
The St. Nicholas Prison Ministry assists former offenders and their families to re-enter and become contributing members of society. We have provided, and in some cases continue to provide, the following assistance:
· Christmas gifts to children of former offenders who would otherwise have received none.
· Travel expenses for children to go visit and spend time with their incarcerated parents
· Toiletries for individuals living in half-way houses -- helping to establish good hygiene habits
· Religious books, icons, prayer ropes, postage for Father Ogan's in-prison ministry
· Dorm room supplies, school supplies, and laptops to children of former offenders entering their first year of college.
· Restaurant gift cards (McDonalds, Wendy, Taco Bell, Hardees) as educational rewards/incentives
· Bus passes (to get to job interviews, new jobs)
· Laptops to four outstanding former offenders who have excelled in their studies (One young woman qualified for Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society!)
THE NEXT 100 is an initiative to lead us into the next generation of St. Nicholas. Our objectives are to sustain and grow our programs, expand our ministries, enhance the communications with our parishioners, increase the utilization of our physical facilities, make capital improvements, continue to reduce our debt and create and endowment that will serve as a long-term investment for the church. Our goal is to raise $1.5 million for this project.
