Prison Ministry Outreach

We are looking for men to join us in our prison ministry outreach at Walker State Prison in Rock Spring, Georgia. We have a few men already involved as mentors to specific men in the prison, but there is a need for more Catholic mentors. Can you make a commitment to visit one of the men at WSP twice each month? You may travel back and forth from the prison through carpool with our mentors and with other local men who serve as mentors.  If interested, you may contact Father Mark (706-841-1836) or Mr. Dick Crotteau ( 423-505-4602).
