Fourth in a series on Stewardship of Service

Compass Correspondent
The goals of Sr. Pat Flanigan and Doris Sobieski's ministry to Hispanic inmates at the Waushara County jail are to teach them English and math and to give them hope.
They both say the skills they teach the men they work with will help them avoid the mistakes that led to jail and help them build better lives when they are released.
Sr. Flanigan, the head of Hispanic ministries at St. Joseph Parish in Wautoma, began her jail ministry about three years ago after the parish hosted a Christmas party for inmates. The event showed her what their needs were, she said.
