SCHOOL OF PRISON PASTORAL CARE

The Office of Detention Ministry is preparing a renewed formation process for jail, prison, and detention ministry volunteers through the Prison Pastoral Formation Ecosystem — PPFE.

This renewed process will help volunteers serve from a common pastoral foundation rooted in mercy, prudence, humility, and communion with the Church.

Formal course registration has not yet opened. However, all new, endorsed, regular, and occasional volunteers are invited to complete the PPFE Volunteer Information Form. This will help the Office of Detention Ministry update volunteer records, organize cohort groups, and prepare for the upcoming formation process.

Please complete the form below if you are:

🆕 a new volunteer
✅ a currently endorsed volunteer
🕊️ an occasional volunteer serving in retreats, prayer groups, visits, or other pastoral activities

The information collected will help us prepare for:

💻 MoodleCloud access
📘 PPFE 000 and PPFE 101 formation
👥 Online Cohort Assignments
📅  Planning for the Three-Hour In-Person Retreat
📜 and certification records

Volunteer documents are available below on this page.
