Prisoners’ Sunday: 8 October 2023

Jesus answered him, ‘Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.’
(Luke 23:43)

This year, Prisoners’ Sunday will be on 8 October 2023. Pact (Prison Advice and Care Trust) has produced and sent to all parishes, packs with information about how we can emulate Christ’s forgiveness of the repentant thief and fulfil His exhortation to care for prisoners and their families: through Prayer, Action and Giving.

Find out more here – especially about an initiative at HMP New Hall at Flockton in our own Diocese of Leeds which the Bishop is due to visit in the New Year:

The Corporal Acts of Mercy: visiting those in prison.

 

‘…I was naked, and you covered me: sick, and you visited me: I was in prison, and you came to me … as long as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me.’
(Matthew 25:36-40)
