Is God the most important thing in my life, or do I place money, success, power, or other worldly things above him? Do I make time to pray each day? Do I participate in the liturgy on Sundays and holy days? Do I trust in the mercy of God? Do I strive to share the good news of Jesus with those I meet? Do I treat all people with the respect they deserve as children of God? Do I consciously practice the Spiritual and Corporal Works of Mercy? Do I give in to anger and impatience when dealing with others? Do I give of my time, treasure, and talent to help the community, especially the less fortunate? Do I own my possessions, or do my possessions own me? Do I respect my body, or do I abuse it through improper use of drugs, alcohol, sex, or lack of exercise and rest? Do I speak out when the rights of other are abused, or do I stand by silently? Do I share, to the best of my ability, in the work of promoting justice, harmony and love in human relations? Have I damaged someone’s reputation through malicious speech or gossip? Have I refused someone forgiveness when they ask? Do I strive to speak the truth and practice what I preach?

   One of the most overlooked Corporal Works of Mercy is to visit the imprisoned. According to the USCCB, "people in prison are still people, made in the image and likeness of God. No matter what someone has done, they deserve the opportunity to hear the Word of God and find the Truth of the message of Christ." When Davide Bonicelli heard about the One Parish One Prisoner Program and the work they were doing with Kolbe House from the Archdiocese of Chicago, he knew he wanted to bring this program to our parish.
Over the past several months, the parish has gathered a team of volunteers who meet every few weeks to pray and educate themselves on what it means to be incarcerated, and what it takes to reintegrate after release. This team consists of (from left to right) Dawn Gmitro, Elizabeth Kos, Sarah Ostrowski, Jackie Alfred, Henrietta Barcelo-Gomez, Fr. Tim Berryhill, Andrius Kazlauskas, Tom Shields, and Davide Bonicelli. St. Paul IV Parish is proud to partner with One Parish One Prisoner (OPOP), an initiative of Underground Ministries, to assist with the successful reintegration of individuals transitioning from prison back into society. OPOP’s mission is to offer spiritual, emotional, and practical support to those who have been incarcerated, helping them rebuild their lives with dignity and hope. As part of this partnership, our parish is supporting Anthony Smith as he navigates his transition. Our team has been writing to Anthony and speaking with him on the phone as we work to build a relationship of trust and support for each other. We ask for your prayers for Anthony, as well as for all those involved in this important process. Please consider joining us in prayer for Anthony and the many others in similar situations. This intention will soon be included as one of the intercessory prayers during our Sunday Masses. For more information about OPOP and Underground Ministries, please visit their website at www.undergroundministries.org. If you are interested in getting involved with this ministry, please contact Elizabeth Kos at [email protected]. If you would like to make a donation to support this ministry and Anthony as he prepares for life after being in prison, please click here. You can also scan the QR Code. You can also drop off an envelope at the office or in the collection, labeled OPOP or One Parish One Prisoner. All of your donations will support Anthony's needs as he begins his life anew.
