Ministries

Description

Since the first centuries, Christians have followed Jesus’ lead in visiting those imprisoned which was stated so eloquently in Matthew 25:35.

"When I was in prison, you visited me".

Responsibilities

Our primary mission is to bring the love and mercy of God to all we meet. We offer hope to those who may be in chaos, by offering them a smile and a listening heart…treating the incarcerated with dignity and loving them so much until they ask why. Our retreats are both liturgical and sacramental. They conclude with Mass using the Sunday readings along with the opportunity to go to Confession.

Nyakasanza Parish has made a partnership with Bunia Central prison to do more for the inmates. We offer workshops for skills training in carpentry, masonry and other artisanal vocations. The skills training is to equip the inmates with vocational qualities so that when they come out of the prisons they can set up their own businesses rather than becoming a burden on society.
