The Celebration Begins with You

a special thank you note we recently received from Michelle K., a prisoner we serve in Iowa

At Dismas Ministry, we are always encouraged and inspired by the letters of gratitude from those we serve. We celebrate the many connections being made as part of our shared ministry including staff, Board members, donors, volunteers, and friends. Together we nurture the faith life of the imprisoned. We represent a support network that prays for them and encourages their every step toward a relationship with God and the Church. Enclosed is a special thank you note we recently received from Michelle K., a prisoner we serve in Iowa.

Together, we keep the faith of St. Dismas alive and provide Catholic spiritual resources to anyone who makes a request. Catholic Bibles, prayer books, and the study courses are the most requested items, and the demand continues to increase. As more prisoners request our materials, the need for donations also increases.

This July, we begin a celebration of 25 years of Dismas Ministry and our role in “visiting the prisoner.” The celebration starts with you, our dear benefactors and friends.

First, please continue to keep us and those we serve in your prayers. Second, we invite you to consider a special gift or commit to a monthly gift of $25 to commemorate our 25th anniversary. However, a contribution of any amount will help sustain our work and touch the hearts and souls of prisoners like Michelle who need our support.

Can we count on you to help us deliver our programs and services and continue the vital work of Dismas Ministry? Please make a 25th anniversary year gift TODAY!

We need your support! Please know that we truly appreciate whatever you can offer, whether spiritually, financially, or both.

With deepest gratitude,

Juliann Joerres
Executive Director
