MILWAUKEE — A new resource in Milwaukee is offering men a chance to rewrite their stories after incarceration.

Thrive for Life will have its official dedication and blessing of Joseph House, a new chapter in its mission to transform lives behind and beyond the prison walls.

The event will begin at 5 p.m. with an opening Mass celebrated by Archbishop Jeffrey Grob, followed by a reception with food, drinks and reflections from Thrive for Life leadership.

It will be a time of fellowship, celebration and reaffirming the commitment to justice and new beginnings.

The path back into society after prison can be daunting. Finding housing, securing employment and rebuilding a sense of community often feels like an impossible challenge. Thrive for Life is stepping in to change that narrative.

TMJ4’s Sydni Eure spoke with one of the first resident scholars to live in the home who shared how this program has changed his life so far.
