There are over 48,000 people in correctional facilities in the State of Georgia in 40 prisons and 24 DOC county jails. Many are Roman Catholic and are starving for the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Sacraments. Sentenced by the criminal justice system to pay for their transgressions, these men and women are among the most despised of human beings, living outside the pale of compassion or even acknowledgment from the larger church community.
The Church has much to offer in the healing of society and prisoners need to know that God loves them. They can only know this when we celebrate Christ with them and help them gentle their souls so they can hear the voice of God. Visiting, bringing the sacraments and praying with prisoners is the mission of St. Joseph Cafasso Prison Ministries. The intention of the Ministry will be to have a regular Catholic presence in all of the Georgia prisons, offering Holy Communion to all Catholic inmates that can receive and a Priest on a monthly basis to say Mass and hear confessions.
If you are interested in the ministry, please contact Paul Caruso at 770-998-2650 or 770-653-9101 or
