The current weekend is # 14, March 10-13
What is a Kairos Weekend?
The Kairos "Weekend" actually requires four days.
Up to 42 carefully selected men (called Candidates) are chosen by the Warden
and the Chaplain to attend the weekend, which begins Thursday afternoon and
lasts until Sunday afternoon.. Kairos asks that the Candidates be
"Prison Leaders."
The men are assigned to a table family where they will stay for the entire
weekend. Each table consists of three team members (two laymen and a
clergy) and six Candidates. Each Candidate is seated next to a team
member.
Each day consists of a series of talks and meditations given by both clergy and laymen. Each talk is preceded by singing and followed by
discussion of the talk and a table project that illustrates the points made in
the Talk.
The "inside team" provides meals cooked by the "outside team."
These are the finest food and meals we can prepare. They include such
favorites as lasagna, barbeque, tamales, hamburgers, "free world" pizza,
salads, ice cream, cake, and all the fresh fruit and cookies the
Candidates can eat.
The Weekend also contains other specially timed events designed to encourage the
Candidate to move into a relationship with Christ.
