Welcome to Kairos LCIW! 
We're a community of volunteers from all over Louisiana that share a mission - to show Christ's love and forgiveness to the incarcerated women at the Louisiana Correctional Institute for Women (LCIW) in St. Gabriel.

Does Kairos make a Difference?
According to one of the LCIW inmates, who recently attended the Kairos #29 retreat, "I arrived at Kairos deeply hurting, truly broken, everything stripped from head to toe. Now I KNOW that God loves me. I found a love so profound here. I found release, support, forgiveness, and I know that I am not shut out of the kingdom!"
