Solomon Carter Fuller Mental Health Center - Interfaith Chaplaincy

Dear Michael,

I am writing to express my thanks for the Bibles which you sent me at Solomon Carter Fuller Mental Health Center in the South End of Boston.  Our center services court referred mentally ill persons who are being assessed for their competency to stand trial here in the state of Massachusetts.

Our clients are often homeless and need to be restored to their medication as well as are in a transition from serious mental illness to recovery.  Many have very little and are most grateful to hear the Word of God as a source of hope for them.  Many times, Scripture is a bridge for them to pass from insanity to sanity.

I am unable to provide any pictures of our clients as their situation does not provide the opportunity to obtain pictures.  They are using the Bibles for their own personal use and in our Interfaith Service which is held on each unit each week.  However, our clients are most grateful for the opportunity to have a Bible of their own and value them.

Your organization is doing a wonderful thing by supplying us with Bibles for our clients.  They treasure these books and often they are their pathway to health along with the care our staff provides them during their stay here at Fuller.

Please convey my gratitude to the staff of your organization and be assured that the Bibles you sent to me will be used and will provide me the opportunity to pray, discuss and ponder God's word with our clients.

Again, I am most grateful to you for providing us with this resource.

Sincerely,

Sister Kathleen Hagerty, CSJ
