Donate to Prison Ministries
Paulist Prison Ministries needs your support so that we can reach more prisoners. We cannot do any of this without you. All our literature and services are provided free of charge. Your generosity makes this possible, and we are most grateful for all that you have done. The need continues—and grows.

All contributors receive a copy of Let’s Talk! each quarter, and a copy of the Annual Report. Donations may be made by credit card by following the links below, or by check sent to Paulist Prison Ministry, 3031 Fourth St., NE, Washington, DC, 20017. You can help prisoners in these ways:
1. One-Time Donation

2. Sustaining Partner
You decide how much you want to donate each year, and then pledge that amount to Paulist Prison Ministries. You can make one annual payment, or pay on a bi-monthly basis when a reminder is sent. We count on the pledges of Sustaining Partners to help us plan our annual budget and determine how many prisons we can support.

Besides receiving Let’s Talk! and the Annual Report, you also receive a handsome certificate identifying you as a Sustaining Partner of Paulist Prison Ministries.
