Inmates who fully practice their religion while they are in prison when released are about 5 times as likely not to return to prison for parole violations. This is the 3rd year that Council 3357 has supported REC. This year's contribution will partially fund a new initiative to meet regularly with parolees from the Albany area.

Approximately
130 Catholic men and women across the diocese and several from Christ the King
work with State prison inmates in forming new or stronger relationships with
Christ. This service is done primarily through 3 day retreat weekends, monthly
reunions and regular Bible study. These Catholic men and women join chaplains in
providing Christ’s hope to facility residents. 
Albany
Council 173 recently awarded gifts to five Catholic Elementary Schools in the
City of Albany as part of its continuing effort to support Catholic Education.
This marks the ninth consecutive year awards were made and reflects a doubling
of the amount given in the initial four years. These awards are intended to
support or enhance programs not fully covered in the annual budget of these
schools. Timed to occur close to Catholic Schools Week each award consisted of a
check for $1,000. Grand Knight J. Richard Adair reports that in addition to
these annual awards Albany Council 173 stands ready to assist in other forms
that aid the educational programs.
