Nearly 43 years ago, after a stint in the U.S. Navy and two of his sweethearts joined convents, D.C. native Michael Bryant entered the priesthood. He followed Christ’s call to serve the least among us, and soon found his vocation in prison ministry. In 2005, he founded the Welcome Home Reentry program through Prison Outreach Ministries Inc., working in the District and Maryland with mentors and those returning to society after being imprisoned. Father Bryant, 70, sat down with The Washington Examiner days before Easter to share thoughts on his faith and the miracle of resurrection. Do you consider yourself to be of a specific faith?
