Prison Ministry
“Come, O blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me” (Matt. 25:34-36).

Our goal is to reach inmates in the prison and detention in Hays County. This includes the Juvenile Detention Center in San Marcos and Kyle Unit. 
 
Despite where they are, inmates are still members of Christ’s Body and should not be forgotten. Many will use their time behind bars to reassess their lives, and with God’s help, make amends for their past. As fellow Catholics, we can walk with them to support their spiritual transformation.
 
This spiritual approach goes to the very heart of the matter – the need for God in the lives of all who have been affected by crime. In the end, the only true healing is spiritual, as God transforms suffering into victory as He did for Jesus.
 
Masses, communion services, confessions, classes in scripture and catechesis are all part of our ministry.
