Women Needed for Prison Ministry
“For I… was in prison and you visited me.” (Mt 25:36)
The Diocese of St. Petersburg’s ministry to incarcerated women in the Hillsborough County Jail is in dire need of volunteers. Our jails often are the warehouses of the poor and neglected in our society, but we as the Church cannot neglect those most in need.
If you are a woman (lay or religious) who has a heart to serve, please consider this rewarding ministry. We visit the women in Hillsborough County Jail on Sunday afternoons from 2:00 to 3:30 PM and only ask for a commitment of one or two Sundays per month.
At the present time, we have sadly had to suspend our weekly services until more good women step forward and volunteer to help.
If you are interested in serving those in need, or want to know more about this ministry of charity, please contact Deacon David Lesieur by email or phone: 813-255-7417. Or you may contact Deacon Jim Grevenites, Diocese of St. Petersburg Office of Prison Ministry, by email or phone: 727-344-1611, ext. 5349.
