Prison Ministry

Scripture

For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me. (Matthew 25:35-36)

Mission Statement

Mary Queen Prison Ministry seeks to touch the lives of those incarcerated, to restore hope through the love of Jesus Christ. In response to the call and example of Christ, Mary Queen - Kolbe Prison Ministry volunteers seek to motivate and encourage prisoners, through the personal relationship with community volunteers, to help examine their lives; experience the healing forgiveness and power of God's love; and return from incarceration with a covenant commitment to personal responsibility and contribution to family and community.
