Table of the Saints Family House
Dedicated to the memory of Mr. Larry M. Kilgore Jr.
On August 5, 2015 we the Table of the Saints, Inc.
were gifted a two family unit home by Maureen Kilgore-Marx with the desire to
keep her late husband Mr. Larry M. Kilgore’s life’s work alive. Larry Kilgore
was a friend and mentor to those incarcerated and returning to the community.
After much help with restoration from Milwaukee
Friends Meeting, Marquette University and community donors we were able to open
on Christmas Day for our first guest and resident Mr. Aaron Boucher. Aaron was
in dire need of housing and we decided to give him a chance. Aaron was with us
for a little over a year with no plans to leave soon. On February 10, 2017
Aaron went home to be with the Lord.
The Table of the Saints, Inc. is committed to helping those
who are incarcerated and formerly incarcerated to make a positive transition
into community and family life. Our goal is to help the returning citizens with
their re-entry process through walking in obedience as men and women of God and
upstanding citizens in our community. Our role is providing social services for
those seeking to successfully make a transition from incarceration back into
society, by providing restorative life skills through:
- Christ-centered after care
- Professional counseling
- Mentoring and aftercare program.
In doing this transformational service we hope to:
- reduce the problems of recidivism in our community
- help each person heal and embrace their moral compass of faith, family and home
- actively combat the individual and community problems that contribute to the needless waste of human resources
- encourage men and women to become actively aware of, and to consciously cultivate their greatest potential for human development, so that they continually become productive community citizens.
“Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which
the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be Shepherds of the church of God,
which he bought with his own blood.”
