THE
LINK OF THE PRISONER TO THE WORLD OUTSIDE IS
CONSIDERED AN ESSENTIAL AND IMPORTANT MATTER
IN ORDER TO REHABILITATE HIM SOCIALLY TO
RETURN BACK TO THE COMMUNITY.
IT
ALSO GIVES HIM THE OPPORTUNITY TO KNOW ABOUT
HIS FAMILY AND TO FEEL SECURE ABOUT THEM AND
IS GRANTED WITH THE HOPE OF JUDGMENT
TERMINATION AND TO HINDER HIS FEELING OF
ISOLATION.
WHAT
IS MORE IMPORTANT IS THAT THE RIGHT OF
HAVING A LINK WITH THE WORLD OUTSIDE IS
CONSIDERED A PART OF THE SOCIAL REFORMATION
WHICH IS SUPPORTED BY HIS EMINENCE BISHOP
SALIM SAYEGH AND BISHOP YASER AYYASH.
A
JOINT CATHOLIC COMMUNITY HAS BEEN FORMED
BETWEEN THE CHRISTIAN HOPE FUND AND THE
CARITAS TO ACHIEVE THE FOLLOWING GOALS:
SPIRITUAL GOALS:
- TO PROVIDE SPIRITUAL CONSULTATION FOR THE
PRISONERS – CONFESSION, PRAYER, SPIRITUAL
AND MORAL PRAYERS- IN THE WEEKLY VISITS BY
THE SPIRITUAL INSTRUCTOR OF THE PRISONERS
AND VOLUNTEERING MEMBERS TO VISIT THE
PRISONS.
SOCIAL GOALS:
- TO PROVIDE SOCIAL SERVICES FOR THE
PRISONERS AND THEIR FAMILIES SUCH AS MEDICAL
SERVICES AND HUMAN ASSISTANCE, EDUCATIONAL
SERVICES FOR THEIR CHILDREN AND
ENLIGHTENMENT COURSES ON HUMAN RIGHTS.
HEALTH GOALS:
- TO PROVIDE HEALTH SERVICES BY SUPPLYING
MEDICINE AND PERFORM THE NECESSARY MEDICAL
TESTS FOR PRISONERS, IN ADDITION TO HEALTH
INSTRUCTIONAL COURSES.
IN ORDER TO PROFOUND THE UNITY BETWEEN THE
CHURCHES AND CHURCH GROUPS, IT HAS BEEN
ORGANIZED TO COORDINATE AND WORK WITH THE
EVANGELICAL CHURCHES COMMITTEE IN RELATION
TO THE PRIVATE VISITS TO THE PRISONERS BY A
JOINT COOPERATION COMMITTEE, THIS COMMITTEE
IS OPEN TO ALL CHURCHES WHO WISH TO
PARTICIPATE.
