The Diocese of Charlotte Prison Ministry is made up of parish-based volunteers who visit people incarcerated in prisons, jails and detention centers located in the 46 counties of western North Carolina that encompass the Diocese of Charlotte. They enrich their faith – bringing company, hope, love and the mercy of Jesus Christ. Learn more below about how to volunteer or request a visit for a loved one.
Bishop Luis Zarama reflects on the celebration of the Sacred Heart of Jesus during the month of June and Pope Leo’s monthly prayer intention for more compassion in the world. Love and compassion for others begins with love and a willingness to let our own hearts be pierced by the love of Jesus, Bishop Luis explains. He asks us to take time in our daily lives to look for that encounter and to understand that more than ever the world needs more compassion — and it begins within us.
