Offer the gift of presence and hope
Christ calls us to remember people who can easily be forgotten.
Prison Ministry gives parishioners an opportunity to recognize the dignity of people in custody and offer a caring human and Christian presence.
What we do
Holy Rosary volunteers visit:
- Maplehurst Correctional Complex;
- Vanier Centre for Women.
Through this ministry of presence, volunteers help remind people in custody that they have dignity and are not forgotten.
Who can take part
If you are interested but unsure what prison ministry involves, begin by asking questions.
Before you make a commitment, we can explain:
- the role of volunteers;
- preparation;
- facility requirements;
- screening;
- time commitment.
Other ways to help
Even if visiting a correctional facility is not possible for you, you can support this ministry through prayer for:
- people in custody;
- their families;
- correctional staff;
- volunteers.
