Pastoral Care Appeal
All people in prisons are someone’s son or daughter, brother or sister. Donate today to ensure our Chaplains can continue visiting people in prisons; to walk with those as Jesus did.
Chaplains offer respect and dignity to each person and help them to find the goodness within themselves.
Your compassionate support ensures Chaplains can continue to provide much-needed pastoral care in prisons.
Prison Chaplains are skilled in Restorative Justice; helping to rehabilitate offenders through reconciliation. They respond to the call of Jesus.
As messengers of Christ’s love, mercy and compassion, Chaplains listen, pray and bring hope and courage for each day, to over 5,000 people in our 10 prisons within the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne.
We are only able to continue our ministry with your generous support. You are helping to bring the gift of God’s hope and mercy to vulnerable Victorians.

Help us be messengers of hope
“As messengers of hope, we help those in prison to feel accepted as people who have dignity. It’s really important that they understand that they have dignity as a person. A huge challenge for so many of them!”
– Sr Mary O’Shannassy, CCV Prison Chaplain
