Prisoners' Sunday

Prisoners’ Sunday is an opportunity to think about how we, as individuals, as a Church, and as communities, are serving our brothers and sisters affected by imprisonment.

Prisoners, people with convictions, and their children and families can find themselves on the margins of our society. Yet Jesus challenges us: “I was in prison and you came to me…”

Our work at Pact draws on the values of our faith: dignity, solidarity, and subsidiarity. We believe everyone can make a fresh start, whatever they may have done.

We respectfully invite you to hold a second collection for the work we do at of Pact to support women and men in prison and their families.

This year, Prisoners' Sunday takes place on 13 October but you can mark the occasion on a day that suits your parish calendar.
