Dear Friends

Yesterday I attended a meeting for prison chaplains 

Not enough priests are available, so deacons are now taking over

Catholics nowhere near as concerned about prisons as Evangelicals.
Evangelicals have many more active chaplains than Catholic Church has

Evangelicals also have women chaplains (for women's prisons).
Catholic women, even sisters/nuns, not allowed to be chaplains,
because according to HK law, only ordained people may be chaplains.

So...priests and deacons ok, ordained....but not sisters/nuns, not ordained

May the day soon come for women deacons in the Catholic Church
 ...and may many good sisters/nuns be ordained immediately!

Thank you for a prayer

God bless!
