Catholic Charities oversees the diocesan efforts to provide jail and prison ministry in various settings. Jail and Prison Ministry provides ongoing activities/events that raise the level of awareness by offering opportunities to become involved and offers annual gatherings to affirm and inform current volunteers.
In more recent years a growing awareness has developed regarding the needs of victims and their families, families of the incarcerated, re-entry, death penalty and advocacy issues.
