Prison Ministry

Sharing Heaven's Message of Unconditional Love with the Incarcerated

Can You Help Us?

Through our Prison Ministry,  we are able to welcome the incarcerated to the love, assistance, and forgiveness of Jesus. We are able to provide a little thread of communication and connectedness with Heaven. Our hope is to be able to provide all of the writings of the Apostolate free of charge to the incarcerated, in the faith that Jesus will comfort these adolescents and adults and one day is able to use them in his ministry.

Your Donation Matters

We added various impact levels, with the least expensive being $7. Just one $7 donation directly impacts someone's life. Through this $7, we are able to share a calendar.

Letters we receive from these lay apostle prisoners are overflowing with gratitude. Some prisoners even send us donation checks for a few dollars to sponsor other prisoners. Some are taking the initiative and spreading this ministry by sharing their calendars with others and asking if other prisoners want to be 'adopted'.

Below are suggested donations, if you'd like to donate to a specific Prison Minsitry project. At the bottom of the page is a general donation option, if you'd like your donation to go to any of these causes.

Our common goal is to spread the writings and formation programs of the Apostolate, giving others the opportunity to discover the truth that we are each seen and loved by God.

"You must rise each day and give the day to Jesus. You do this through the Morning Offering. You offer your day to Jesus Christ. And what does Jesus Christ do with this offering? He takes each action, each joy, each sorrow, each sadness and He uses these things to obtain graces for others who do not live in His light. Perhaps you were once in darkness. Someone offered his day, perhaps, and Jesus used the offering to obtain graces for you. And now you know Jesus and now you are living in His light. Do you see that we are all working for each other and we are all working for Christ?"
