PRISON MINISTRY

Members of the Prison Ministry care for the pastoral needs of women and men incarcerated at Carol Young Medical Facility in Texas City. On Saturday mornings they lead a Communion service when the priest is not available to celebrate Holy Mass. They also teach OCIA, train Readers, Altar Servers and choir members to sing and/or play musical instruments.  Every Wednesday afternoon they lead and teach the rosary.  ACTS retreats are also conducted twice a year.  Two Friday evenings each month we also provide movie night that features faith-based subject matter.  Members must complete security training as required by the State of Texas and meet any requirements defined by the prison’s chaplain. Call the office at (409) 948-8448 to learn more.
