Mother of five finds prison ministry enriching
Tricia Henneman leads Bible/faith group at Redgranite
|
 |
PROVIDING SUPPORT: Tricia Henneman, prison ministry volunteer at Redgranite Correctional Institution, receives support from her children, Adam, holding Faith, Nicholas (bottom left), Christian and Grace. The children gather and create items Henneman uses in her ministry. For example, Adam wrote, "This is a mirror, when we all look into it, together, we see Jesus' face looking back," a verse incorporated into a program entitled "The Garden of Reconciliation." Henneman of Waupaca serves in the ministry program with Fr. Tony Klink, a retired priest from the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. (Rick Evans photo)

First in a series on prison ministry
By Jeff Kurowski
Compass Assistant Editor
Reactions vary when people find out that Tricia Henneman, a mother of five from Waupaca, serves in prison ministry at Redgranite Correctional Institution.
"I've heard, 'You're wasting your time,'" she said. "Many people have asked, 'Are you frightened?' I get so much out of it. My sister thinks it's really neat, and my husband supports it. I come home from the prison happy. There is a dynamic there that I haven't found in other ministries. It's one of my passions."
Henneman helps facilitate a Bible study/faith group of approximately 25 inmates on Wednesday evenings. She works closely with Fr. Tony Klink, a retired priest from the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. Fr. Klink also celebrates Mass at the prison on Sunday mornings.
Catholic ministry at Redgranite Correctional, which opened in January 2001, has grown from humble beginnings.
"There was only one inmate when I started," said Henneman. "The group has a positive effect. People have come to the group very angry. After a period of time they have changed. You can see the growth. Some talk about their crimes. They really open up spiritually."
Song, scripture, peace and healing, modern theology and social justice have been incorporated into sessions. Henneman continuously looks for ways to enhance the faith experience for the inmates. Full story ...
