Kelly Fanning began visiting the Oklahoma County Jail on occasion with Sally Riesenberg, the CK coordinator of the St. Martin of Tours Jail Ministry, in 2014. She realized quickly that she had a heart for the ministry and was especially called to ministry with incarcerated women. In early 2016 she began going to Mabel Bassett Correctional Center in McLoud with Nancy and Jack Dees, who coordinated prison ministry at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Edmond. Kelly took over when Nancy and Jack retired from the ministry in late 2016 and has been meeting regularly with a group of women at Mabel Bassett since. Her ministry has expanded to Kate Barnard Correctional Center and the Oklahoma City Community Correctional Center, both in Oklahoma City. If you know of a Catholic woman who is incarcerated, please contact Kelly at (405) 242-4516 or kelly@ckokc.org.
