What We Do

We believe every person is created in the image of God and possesses inherent worth and dignity. Rooted in Catholic Social Teaching (CST), this conviction calls us to help each person flourish in every aspect of life — economic, physical, psychological, social, cultural, and spiritual — no matter their circumstances. This holistic vision is known in CST as Integral Human Development.

In the prison setting, this aligns with the bio-psycho-social-spiritual (BPSS) approach, which views rehabilitation across all dimensions of a person’s life. The Singapore Prison Service (SPS) applies this through its Throughcare model — a holistic strategy that provides continuous and coordinated support from incarceration (Incare) to community reintegration (Aftercare).

Partnering with SPS, RCPM supports rehabilitation through faith-based programmes that honour human dignity and reflect Christ’s compassion.

Incare

Within the prison setting, RCPM focuses on the spiritual dimension of rehabilitation through:

RCPM engages in the following activities:

Eucharistic Celebration and Communion Service
Scripture Sharing and Faith Formation
Administering the Sacraments (Baptism, Confirmation, Reconciliation, and Anointing of the Sick & Condemned, where permitted).
Pastoral Assistance for inmates, death row inmates and their families

Aftercare

The Aftercare Ministry continues RCPM’s mission by journeying with ex-offenders after release. It provides faith-based accompaniment and community support to help them grow spiritually and reintegrate into the Church and society. Many of our Incare volunteers continue as befrienders in this journey.

Beyond the spiritual, RCPM’s aftercare also supports other dimensions of rehabilitation — including material needs, pastoral care and family support where needed.

While RCPM may not directly meet all these needs, it works closely with its network of 32 parishes and with Caritas Singapore, the social and community arm of the Catholic Church. Through this network, ex-offenders and their families can be referred to the appropriate parish or one of the 25 Caritas member organisations for continued support, in addition to SPS’s CARE network.
