The Detention Ministry Program, administered by the Office of Public Policy & Social Concerns, encourages qualified individuals to conduct juvenile and adult visits in the San Francisco and San Mateo jail systems. With over 100 volunteers, the Program provides such services as centering prayer, spiritual direction, communion services, Bible study, and a pen pal program for death row inmates.
Restorative Justice Ministry Application Process:
If you are interested in applying to our program, please carefully review and complete the application, and return it to us as soon as possible. On the second page of the application we ask you to provide three personal references. Please make sure that you provide the complete names, addresses, and phone numbers for all three references. Any omissions will delay the processing of your application. One reference should be for your Pastor/Associate Pastor of your parish.
When we receive your application, we will contact the references you listed. Because we ask each reference to fill out a recommendation form that they return to the Restorative Justice office, this process can take up to a few weeks (or sometimes longer). As soon as this process is complete, we will contact you to let you know the status of your application.
If you feel that you are called to minister to those in prison or in jail,
please download and complete the Jail Ministry Application Form and send it to:
Office of Public Policy & Social Concerns
Archdiocese of San Francisco
One Peter Yorke Way
San Francisco, CA 94109
