Prison Ministries

The Office for Prison Ministry assists our men and women incarcerated within Federal, State and County Facilities in the Diocese of Phoenix. Potential volunteers are interviewed by our Office and then badged through the particular facility they will be visiting. Every facility is different, but our ministries include Liturgy of the Word with Eucharist, Scripture study, counseling, agency referral, and sacramental preparation.

  • Liturgy of the word with Eucharist
  • Scripture Study
  • Sacramental Preparation
