TRION—Hays State Prison inmate Michael Roberts is at peace for the first time in his life as he and fellow inmate Matthew Cahill took important steps on their journeys of conversion to the Catholic faith and to follow Jesus Christ.
Archbishop-emeritus John F. Donoghue, wearing red and gold vestments and miter, baptized and confirmed Roberts and Cahill Sept. 29, and challenged all inmates gathered in the chapel at Hays to strive to live with integrity and holiness, whether in prison or after their release.
The baptisms took place at a Mass before members of the prison’s Catholic community and those from the nondenominational Faith and Character-Based Dormitory, a pilot project to fight recidivism.
