Summary

Today we’re speaking with Mr. Mike Banschbach, who runs a prison ministry out of Midland, Texas. Mike’s work, and the efforts of Fr. Katzaroff, as well as the faithful at St. Michael the Archangel chapel have provided some really awe-inspiring stories, as you’ll hear in the next thirty minutes or so. And far from being forgotten, these inmates are receiving the Faith and the Sacraments, not to mention love, and support – many for the first time in their lives.

We're speaking with Mr. Mike Bunchbach, who runs a prison ministry out of Midland, Texas.

So Aaron came, kept coming to our Monday classes. A few months later, he wants to be baptized.

0:18.5

Two, three months goes by, and guess who is serving the Latin Mass at the Smith unit, Aaron?

Mike's work and the efforts of Father Katzrov, as well as the faithful at St. Michael the Archangel Chapel,

0:30.1

have provided some really awe-inspiring stories, as you'll hear in the next 30 minutes or so.
