Join us tomorrow for our webinar featuring author and prison minister Dr. Ansel Augustine. Through his ministry, Dr. Augustine reminds us that our call is not to bring Jesus to those on the margins, but to encounter Christ already present there.❗Register: https://t.co/9y3EKwqopy

We believe that all Catholics are called to accompany those in prisons, jails, and detention centers — to visit Christ in prison. Jesus ministered to people on the margins and, if we are to follow him, we must follow him there. Learn more about CPMC at the link in bio.

🙏 CPMC stands in solidarity with those who are speaking out for the religious rights of people held in detention.

As Sister JoAnn Persch says in the article, “Men and women inside there deserve pastoral care, deserve to be nourished by Communion.”

“I feel called to help those in prisons. I have great sadness in my heart for those who have struggled and sinned, and especially those in poor or inhumane conditions.” – Stephanie, a donor since 2024

We're grateful for Stephanie and all of our donors' support of our mission!

What a blessing to gather with prison chaplains, ministers, and volunteers from across the country at our recent "Cultivators of Hope" retreat in Houston! We were grateful to gather to nurture our spirituality and pray together as Catholics committed to serving the incarcerated.

At CPMC, we are building a community of Catholics called to prison ministry. To hear more about one man’s journey of friendship with Paul, a man on Florida’s death row, please follow our podcast, You Visited Me, on Apple, Spotify or Kajabi.

“I consider myself not a prison minister, but a member of the community touched by the experience of incarceration. I’m the most unlikely person to walk on toward death row, and yet I did. That experience was life giving for me, it was life giving for Paul.” – Alberto De Simoni

[Catholic Prison Ministries Coalition @CPMCoalition]

What is the Jubilee of Prisoners? Why will we celebrate this event as a Church? Why did Pope Francis open a Holy Door in Rebibbia prison in Rome? CPMC created a primer to the Jubilee of Prisoners to answer all of these questions and more!
