  2. How you can mark the day

Marking Prisoners' Sunday

There are a number of ways in which you can mark the national day of prayer and action and support Pact’s mission. We have created a number of resources which can be used in your parish, community, school, university group and social group. We are always happy to discuss your ideas of how to mark the day and support you in any way we can. If a date other than Prisoners' Sunday is more convenient to mark the day, please do so. None of the resources are dated. Some examples of how to mark the day are detailed below.
