Detention Ministry

---

“I was in prison and you came to visit me … I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.” - Matthew 25:36, 40

The Detention Ministry is composed of Catholic volunteers from around the Tri-Valley, including from the Catholic Community of Pleasanton, St. Raymond's (Dublin), St. Joan of Arc (San Ramon), St. Charles and St. Michael (Livermore) and beyond.

Our mission is to reveal God’s infinite love and mercy to our brothers and sisters incarcerated at Santa Rita Jail in Dublin.

What we do is facilitate religious services:

• Weekly: study of the liturgy of the word, including open discussions, and communion service. 
  
• Monthly: mass with one of the local priests and choir
  
• Bi-annually: reconciliation service during Advent and Lent
  
• Annually: Ash Wednesday and Collection of toys for children of inmates for Christmas
