OCPM publications have been especially created to provide spiritual care for those in prison and to train people in prison ministry. However, our books and materials are available to anyone looking for spiritual nourishment in the Lord.
The Journey is OCPM’s monthly in-prison newsletter of reflections from Scripture, the Church Fathers, the liturgical year, and testimonials from volunteers or other people in prison.
Dynamis is OCPM’s newsletter of daily Scripture reflections, according to the lectionary of the Orthodox Church.
OCPM also publishes and distributes spiritual books, icons, catechism, and study courses to those in prison.
All of our materials are FREE and specifically designed for the prison audience, printed according to formats that meet prison security guidelines.
OCPM publishes training resources on starting prison ministries and correspondence. Our resources are supported by expert staff and volunteers with decades of prison ministry experience. You can subscribe to OCPM’s semi-annual newsletter, The Kite, with a small donation.
You are able to purchase OCPM’s icons and books for your personal use on our bookstore.
Our monthly newsletter, Dynamis, provides meditations on the daily Bible readings of the Holy Orthodox Church’s Lectionary for those in prison. Its purpose is to encourage the faithful in daily reading and reflection on the Holy Scriptures. Dynamis is mailed to prisoners directly, but the most recent issues are also available for download.
Due to varying mailroom restrictions of prisons in the U.S., it is difficult for us to accept donated books and other materials you would like to send to those in prison. If you have materials in bulk you would like to donate, please contact us before sending.
