CV NEWS FEED // The Archdiocese of San Francisco has successfully carried out another Cards of Mercy drive this Easter.
According to a Facebook post from the Archdiocese’s Human Life and Dignity project, students and volunteers for the Restorative Justice Ministry crafted “an astounding 1,172 cards” for inmates living in San Francisco prisons.
“What an incredible effort!” the post reads: “Students lent their artistic talents to design vibrant cards, investing their time to ensure each one carried a personalized message of hope.”
“Cards of Mercy are a way to reach out to those in prison with messages of kindness and love,” the initiative’s website states. “Middle, High students, youth in confirmation classes and adult volunteers are asked to prepare cards for holidays throughout the year, which will be delivered to incarcerated individuals.”
Cards of Mercy are sent on Easter, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
