Chapel To Open for Torres Prison Unit in Hondo
After nearly 20 years, Chapel for God’s Country Ministries finally raised $1.8 million in private and corporate donations to build a chapel at the Torres Prison Unit in Hondo.
However, Tom Patterson, who serves on the prison ministry’s board, said $200,000 is still needed for stained glass windows and to furnish and equip the sanctuary that will hold 300 inmates of all faiths.
Patterson said the nonprofit organization wanted to create a true sanctuary for them, “so they know that it’s different and this is special.”
