The Office of Detention Ministry of the Archdiocese of Miami is committed to fostering a culture of support and rehabilitation within our communities. As part of this commitment, we offer comprehensive orientation and training programs designed explicitly for deacons, commissioned lay ministers, parish groups, and ecclesial movements. These programs prepare our volunteers to engage in Detention Ministry, providing spiritual and emotional support to individuals in correctional facilities across Broward, Miami-Dade, and Monroe Counties. Our mission is to bridge the gap between the church and correctional institution, ensuring incarcerated people receive the guidance and care they need to embark on personal transformation and spiritual renewal.
