Review: X Congress of Penitentiary Pastoral in El Escorial – Another Serving of Sentence is Possible

Review

With the title “Another serving of sentence is possible” was held in El
Escorial the X Congress of Penitentiary Pastoral organized by the corresponding Department of the Spanish Episcopal Conference.

After the years of the pandemic, it was the first meeting that was held in person that brought together more than 240 people linked to the prison ministry from all over Spain. It was a moment of joy, of sharing experiences, of encouraging ourselves in the task that we have been carrying out inside the prisons and in service to society.

This issue of Corinthians XIII includes all the presentations and round tables in which the congress was structured. In addition, there was also time for group work to share the work of the different realities and for the different well-cared liturgical celebrations.
