The Saint Pius X Jail and Prison Ministry was created to respond to Christ’s call for us to love and care for our brothers and sisters who are incarcerated, recently released and reentering society. Its mission is to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ and share of His sacramental life with incarcerated individuals and their families in order to foster hope, human dignity and an opportunity for new beginnings.

The ministry's goals are to:

• Share the unconditional love of God

• Administer the sacraments through our deacons and priests

• Share the Gospel of Jesus Christ through teachings on prayer, the study of Scripture and mentoring to help the incarcerated experience initial and ongoing conversion and to live a meaningful and productive life

• Disciple new converts to Catholicism through teachings on the Mass, Sacraments and dogmas of the church

• Provide meaningful, life-giving connections for returning citizens through their local parishes
