TORRINGTON, Wyo. – At least a couple times a week, Joyce Willeke of Torrington will pack a bag with Bibles, a few rosaries, and some pamphlets and other Bible study materials.
She uses those items to help people learn more about Christ – at the Wyoming Medium Correctional Institution in Torrington.
“It’s a wonderful ministry, and I’ve been blessed to be able to do it,” she said.
Willeke, who’s lived in Torrington for 44 years, attends St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church in Torrington. She volunteered to help with her church’s prison ministry 10 years ago – right when the Wyoming Medium Correctional Institution opened.
