Welcome to Our New Faith Community Partners!

Thrive For Life is very excited to welcome eight parishes to our family of faith community partners! Over the last several weeks and months, our spiritual care team has worked hard to foster new relationships throughout New York, most recently making major inroads in Deanery 3 of Queens. These parishes include the churches of St. Joan of Arc, Our Lady of Fatima, Our Lady of Sorrows, St. Bartholomew, St. Gabriel, St. Leo, St. Paul the Apostle, and Blessed Sacrament.  Our new friends in faith and purpose will play an important role in transforming the lives of our brothers and sisters behind and beyond the prison walls through the provision of spiritual care. 

Many thanks are owed to the wonderful pastors of these communities and their congregations. We also thank our very own, Pablo, for taking a major lead in coordinating visits with these parishes and ably representing Thrive For Life and our mission. Pablo joined our staff back in October and serves as the Coordinator of Spiritual Care. He will play a central role in the organization of retreats behind and beyond the prison walls. 

We thank our new partners for joining us in this important ministry and look forward to the many graces and talents they will bring with them!
