Prison Ministry Awareness Sunday Resources

Prison Ministry Awareness Sunday (PMAS) is right around the corner: July 30, 2023. On this day, the feast of St. Silas (patron saint of OCPM), hundreds of Orthodox churches across the U.S. will be preaching about the importance of prison ministry.

To make it easy for your parish to get involved, click on the link below or visit our website to download our PMAS Implementation Packet, including:

• a beautiful sample homily written from our own Prison Relationship Manager, Toby John (MDiv)
• bulletin inserts of different sizes
• the OCPM Fact Sheet to hang on your church bulletin board or hand out at coffee hour

DOWNLOAD THE IMPLEMENTATION PACKET

Lastly, would you please share the PMAS Implementation Packet with your priest and parish leadership? Working together on Sunday, July 30, we can all make a lasting impact on the lives of those in prison.
