Holy Family - St. Dismas Prison Ministry is focused on bringing the Good News of Jesus Christ and our Catholic Faith to the imprisoned women at the Mountain View and Hill Top Correction Facility located in Gatesville Texas.
We provide the Tuesday and Thursday evening Catholic primary service with Mass or Communion Service followed by Faith Formation studies with group discussion. The RCIA program is conducted on a regular basis.
Please contact Deacon Tim Hayden to discuss the possibility of joining us during one of our visits as a special visitor to see if this ministry is for you.
