St. Dismas Guild is a non-profit prison ministry (since 1982) run by a team of volunteers. We do not go into the prisons any longer (since Deacon Ken passed away) but receive many letters with requests and testimonies each week from inmates. We send Packages and Newsletters, Free of Charge, to prison facilities all across the United States.
We meet every Thursday from 9-10 am for the mailing preparation and 10-11 am for Lectio Divina w/Marie Finn. We prepare packages for about 30 inmate requests each week; we put books into boxes, tape boxes, restock shelves, fold extra boxes, stamp books, add postage, etc. We have volunteers who pick up the mail, read it and write the requests on the outside of the envelope, and volunteers who input that information into our Database. We also have a volunteer Priest, Deacon, Accountant and Lawyer. It takes all this to keep our ministry going strong. Lord, "bless the work of our hands..." Psalm 90:17
Look for our Free Individual Bible Study Lessons, Lectio Divina reflections, and our Monthly Newsletter on the Website to download, print, and share. Please check the other tabs.
