Award marks Catholic prison Chaplain's contribution

The recent PRIDE award (professionalism, responsiveness, integrity, diversity, efficiency and effectiveness) by the Chief Executive of the Corrections Department, Mr Barry Matthews to Good Shepherd Sister Teresa Donworth was very well deserved said Eric Allan, Director of Catholic Family and Community Services Auckland.

The award was made in response to Teresa's role when she was involved in negotiations when a corrections Officer was taken hostage at Auckland Prison, Paremoremo in September last year.
