About Us

The Roman Catholic Prison Ministry (RCPM) offers spiritual and pastoral support to inmates, ex-offenders, and their families through the administration of the Sacraments, Scripture, and Catechesis to help them know the love and mercy of God, promoting their human and spiritual development.

The Roman Catholic Prison Ministry (RCPM) is a vital component of the Catholic Church's mission to serve the marginalised and the forgotten. By providing a support system to prisoners, ex-offenders, and their families, the RCPM aims to help them reintegrate back into society with hope and dignity. Through its various initiatives, the RCPM fosters a sense of community, spiritual growth, and social rehabilitation. Additionally, the RCPM offers spiritual guidance and counselling, helping individuals find meaning and purpose in their lives. Ultimately, the RCPM's goal is to empower those who have been touched by the criminal justice system to live full and productive lives, with the love and support of the Church.

Our Vision

Our Mission

To offer assistance to those released from prison whenever necessary and possible with due consultation of the Executive Committee and Spiritual Director.

Our History

The Roman Catholic Prison Ministry was formed in 1977 when the then Archbishop, His Grace Gregory Yong, commissioned Fathers Brian Doro, and Fr. O’Neill of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer or Redemptorists (CSsR), and Sister Gerard Fernandez of the Good Shepherd Sisters (R.G.S.), to start RCPM, to “respond without fear and with quiet sacrifice to our Scriptural mandate”.

RCPM has expanded with more priests to provide chaplaincy. Religious sisters, seminarians and lay people complement the role played by priests. Many of the laymen and laywomen who come from different parishes hold full time jobs and while also involved in parish activities. Some RCPM volunteers serve full time in the ministry.

Our Values

RCPM is a Catholic organization aimed at serving the marginalized and needy whose life of sin and crime have led to their imprisonment. The ministry is a service with a mystical dimension. It sees the inmates and volunteers as one in the Body of Christ. As both volunteers and inmates are One in the Body of Christ, volunteers strive to be Christ-like in the service rendered to the imprisoned. Our service is based on the values of Jesus Christ as handed to us by his Church, the Catholic Church.
