A national Catholic prison outreach providing faith, prayer and scripture resources to prisoners and those who minister to them. At our local level, volunteers help with the operational needs of DISMAS MINISTRY. Internal service may include: Helping with correspondence to inmates; Office assistance (filing, copying, data entry, bookkeeping); Statistical research; Grant research and grant writing; Packaging and mailing of bible and faith materials to prisons; Bible or faith study course assistance. Our local volunteers, and anyone else interested across the country, may share in the organization’s union of prayer. The only requirement of this prayer association is to pray regularly for the other members and for the work of the ministry itself.
