  • I was in prison and you visited me.
    ~ Matthew 25:36

    Our brothers and sisters who are incarcerated are also our parishioners.  Perhaps they once attended one of our Catholic schools, or sat in our church pews, or are related to one of our parishioners.  They are from our cities, towns, and neighborhoods, or maybe they are from out of state. And, of course, they are all beloved sons and daughters of our heavenly Father and our brothers and sisters in Christ.


    The Saint Pius X Jail and Prison Ministry was created to respond to Christ’s call for us to love and care for our brothers and sisters in jail or prison.  Our mission is to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ and the sharing of his sacramental life to incarcerated individuals and their families in order to foster hope, human dignity, and opportunities for new beginnings.

    Our ministry is designed to care not only for the incarcerated, but also their families, as wll as those recently released and reentering society.  The goals of our ministry are to:

    • Share the unconditional love of God
    • Administer the sacraments through our deacons and priests
    • Share the Gospel of Jesus Christ, through teachings on prayer, the study of Scripture, and mentoring, to help the incarcerated experience initial and ongoing conversion, and to live a meaningful and productive life.
    • Disciple new converts to Catholicism through teachings on the Mass, Sacraments, and dogmas of the church.
    • Provide meaningful, life-giving connections for returning citizens through their local parishes.
  • How you can get involved

    Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.
    ~ Hebrews 13:3


    The Prison and Jail Ministry of Saint Pius X is called to serve by providing a Catholic presence to the incarcerated within our region, including:

    1. The St Joseph County Jail
    2. Westville Correctional Facility
    3. South Bend Community Re-Entry Center, and
    4. Community-based residential correctional facilities, such as the DuComb Center 

    This presence comes in the form of Catholic religious services and the sharing of Catholic educational materials.  Our purpose is to bring messages of hope to the incarcerated through prayer, Holy Communion, and Bible study.

    To learn more about how you can become involved, please contact:
    John Bolstetter at jbolstetter@gmail.com or 574-855-9383

    "When I walk away from the prisons I visit I generally say to myself 'I am leaving with so much more than I came with'"
