Dismas Ministry
Description
Dismas Ministry is a faith based organization that brings Catholic ministry services to incarcerated and formerly incarcerated individuals. The organization operated in facilities across the nation with volunteers in all fifty states. The primary function of Dismas Ministry is to ensure that incarcerated individuals have access to spiritual materials while serving out their sentences. These materials include Catholic bibles, prayer books, and correspondence courses in bible study, faith study, social justice study and prayer study. Some correspondence courses and bibles are available in both English and Spanish, while some are offered only in English. Additionally, Dismas Ministry coordinates with prison chaplains to ensure that incarcerated individuals have access to spiritual mentorship, assistance with bible and prayer materials, and support from others in the correctional facility who share their beliefs. For more information or to request materials from Dismas Ministry, individuals should contact the organization directly using the mailing address provided on the website.
