Father Hernán David, who is Chaplain in the Batán prison, talked with us and told us about situations that occur in his activity.
Cura Brochero Evangelization Days
One of the topics addressed is the holding of the conferences related to the Cura Brochero evangelization meeting, and this would be the eighth edition, it will be held at the arrival of the winter holidays, it runs from a Sunday afternoon, until the day Tuesday, a team of people will arrive from the free half.
The priest Hernán adds that in the street there is a house called Cura Brochero, where these types of meetings are held, the good thing the priest says is that those who participate can stay with us, the organizers of the event that takes place in the space school physical.
Refreshments in the chapel
Father Hernán told us that, at the initiative of the Conflict Resolution Committee, which is chaired by prison officer Franzo, we are working with the different areas that intervene in the space we call the unity chapel, in trying to restore it, renovate it, which in fact is a very deteriorated place in which many times we have tried to do something, it is as if until now there has not been someone responsible who would then take care of what was done, in that sense the head of the Committee, assumed this responsibility which is also given by the director of the unit, is to coordinate the work and see how it is taken care of.
He adds that the chapel used to function as a visiting room, with a large influx of people during the week, without much care, and sometimes we got tired of repairing windows, lights, among other things, and then due to lack of care, everything would break again.
He also says that it is a good room where various activities are carried out and that in the prison it is necessary for everything that is religious, whether it is evangelical or Catholic worship, or another activity, which only confirms that this is an important place. for the unit.
CPU, (University Pastoral Community)
The University Pastoral, thus was born with that name in the beginning, as if it has a goal, an end to offer, Hernán David tells us, betting on education as a means and a path for rehabilitation as well, different workshops, courses are offered, and clarifies that the stage of the pandemic also expedited a lot in things that the Committee has to do, and especially Dr. Mario Juliano in instances that expedite on the one hand that there is internet, in spaces such as Liberté, also the issue of cell phones and the pandemic and the pandemic made it possible to enroll in study and in fact there was a very large population of young people who agreed to the possibility of different careers, now returning to face-to-face training some things were complicated but we continue to work in dialogue with the university as well, as for different areas, both from the academic council and the extension area where some courses and workshops have been held that have been presented to the unit and also in e The extension area and in the culture area, arranged by the Provincial Headquarters. of the service and some workshops offered by young people who have certain knowledge and have the ability to transmit it.
This year, he said, what we have achieved is to generate that all these courses, whether from the Unit's Culture and Education area, the Job Training area, depending on what corresponds to the theme of the courses, has been to be able to present them from that framework before La Plata Headquarters, where they will be approved, that way they will have later, an official recognition, those who have completed these courses.
And as a motto that appears on one of the walls of "la Pastoral" says, "Education makes a difference", we continue trying from there, a work of conscience, concluded the parish priest Hernán David.
