Exchange between women: Digital insights into prison pastoral care!

On November 12, 2025, there will be a very special digital exchange between women that will not only touch the heart, but also provide special insights into prison pastoral care. At the juvenile detention center (JSA) in Regis-Breitingen, the committed prison chaplain Esperanza Spierling will contribute her experiences and thoughts on a topic that affects many people. bistum-dresden-meissen.de reports that this exchange is not only professional, but also personal.

With an art degree in the background, Esperanza Spierling has been tasked with making beaded rosaries with young prisoners since September 2021. This creative activity not only promotes the examination of faith and spirituality, but also creates a valuable basis for encounters. This evening she will address key themes such as hope, responsibility and the personal connection to her faith.

Invitation to participate

The online event lasts approximately 90 minutes and is aimed at women in the diocese who would like to exchange professional and personal experiences. Questions like “What moves us?”, “What do we believe?” and “What wishes do we have for the church?” should be the focus and enable an open dialogue.

The event not only offers a framework for discussions, but also the opportunity to get to know each other and discover the variety of missions and fields of activity. The exchange is intended to inspire and promises to be enriching for every participant.

Interest in digital tools

In a time when communication is taking place online, Microsoft has also created an important tool for students and faculty members with its 365 Copilot. This provides access to valuable digital resources that are important for academic and professional development. Information about the functions and access can be found at office.com.

Whether it's about creating documents or organizing projects, the digital options are now numerous and easily accessible, which can certainly also support exchanges between women.

As the digital space also flourishes in the world of cooking, this concept is also being promoted by The New York Times, which offers Cooking subscribers the opportunity to browse recipes and add variations to their own cooking skills. Subscribing to the platform not only opens up the entire recipe database, but also offers innovative tools to optimize the culinary experience. You can find out more at nytimes.com.

Such digital offerings are a wonderful addition to events such as the planned exchange, as they promote networking and dialogue in a broader context. So it remains exciting to see in which direction these formats will develop.
