A major aspect of Prison Ministry is to serve the spiritual needs of Catholic inmates. It is a matter of faith and justice that these members of the Catholic community not be forgotten and deserve pastoral attention regardless of their wrongdoing.
Prison ministry is a challenging and rewarding ministry to become involved with. Those involved in prison ministry in the Archdiocese of Portland feel a true calling to this work. We are truly blessed to have a rich history of prison ministry in the diocese. The list below is an organic list created from conversations with those already working in state and federal facilities.
