Kairos Cookie Bags

Kathy was back from the Kairos weekend, but a bit late for Mass. Still, she was in the Parish Hall after the service and absolutely delighted with the way the kids had decorated the cookie bags.

Each day during the Kairos retreat, when the prisoners attending the retreat spend their days in the Chapel instead of their normal "programs" (school and/or work), each and every inmate in the entire institution receives a bag of a dozen cookies from Kairos. These are not plain white bags, but are decorated -- by children, Sunday Schools, the elderly, and so on. The message: "Somebody cares."
