Persons in custody participate in Christmas activities
The Correctional Services Department has arranged for persons in custody (PICs) to attend activities during the Christmas festive period.
The Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Hong Kong, Cardinal Stephen Chow, accompanied by the Deputy Commissioner of Correctional Services (Operations and Strategic Development), Mr Leung Ka-lun, visited Stanley Prison and presided at a Christmas mass today (December 25) to share his faith and Christmas blessings with PICs. He also paid a visit to patients in the institution hospital and conveyed his sympathy and support to them.
Moreover, the Archbishop of Hong Kong, the Most Reverend Andrew Chan, presided at a Christmas service in Pak Sha Wan Correctional Institution on December 22 to preach and share religious messages with PICs, whilst extending his care and good wishes.
Through the Correctional Services Chaplain, voluntary chaplains and visitors from religious organisations, a variety of spiritual support services are offered to PICs who wish to participate regardless of their religious affiliation. The services include visits, teaching, counselling, and religious and recreational activities.
