Marking Prisoners' Sunday

We invite you to mark the national day of prayer and action and support Pact’s mission. We would love to hear your ideas and to support you in any way we can. If a date other than 8th October is more convenient, please mark Prisoners' Sunday then. Here are resources to help your parish, community, school, university or social group. Check out our Pact for Parishes and Groups webpages too.
