Vision
We are a faith-filled community of hope who witness and offer by our presence and activities God’s unconditional love, compassionate forgiveness, and healing justice to those affected by the criminal justice system.

Mission
To provide a listening, healing presence to incarcerated men, women, and children and to their families and victims. We are extensions of God’s unconditional love and forgiveness by our non-judgmental witness and presence. Our ministry strives to restore a sense of self-worth and hope to the people we serve. Our pastoral presence supports members of the staff in the institutions we serve. We invite and offer opportunities for the whole human community to volunteer their time, talent, and person in our gospel mission.

Area Served
