This year Prisoners’ Sunday will be observed on Sunday 12 October.

In the coming weeks parishes will be receiving a letter from PACT, together with information about their recent initiative, ‘Picking up the Pieces’.

Bishop Richard Moth, Liaison Bishop for Prisons, is supported by Bishop Marcus in encouraging parishes to make a voluntary second collection for PACT on that day.

Online donations may also be made directly to PACT: a national charity which gives advice and support to prisoners, people with convictions – and their families.
