Diocese of Newark Prison Ministry

We visit Christ when we help the incarcerated, the children of the incarcerated, their families, and our communities. The Ministry advocates for restorative justice, interfaith programs, and personal healing for prisoners, their families, and communities. You can help make a difference in the life of a child of God.

Holiday Gift Drive 

We thank everyone for their support this holiday season.

Looking Ahead

We look forward to resuming our Bible Study at Northern State Prison, and children's visits to incarcerated family members at the county jail. 


I sent you to reap that for which you did not labor. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.  John 4:38

                                                                                                                                        

The Prison Ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of Newark is motivated by the Gospel imperative in Matthew 25:36: “I was in prison and you visited me”
