America’s tragically high incarceration rate (2.3 million) means that—chances are—more than one parishioner in your church has been touched by a person serving time in prison.

OCPM introduces prisoners to the fullness of the Orthodox Faith. And we help Orthodox Christians who have been convicted of crimes to return to the Orthodox faith and find healing and reconciliation.

But we can’t do this work without the support of our parishes. As the national prison ministry of the Orthodox Church, we are entirely funded through parish and individual support. 

Please help us fulfill the commandment of our Lord to visit Him in prison (Matthew 25:36) by participating in this vital day of awareness.
