Our Mission Statement
The Episcopal Jail Ministry is a lay ministry of presence, hospitality and respectfulness.
We seek to reflect the Holy Spirit at work in our lives as a manifestation of God's love.
We explore Christ's Word through the use of liturgy, stories, scripture and personal experience. We help the women and men to connect with God and themselves, their families and loved ones, and with each other. We strive to model spiritual health by demonstrating centeredness, balance, spontaneity and joy. We try, above all, to be authentic and to allow the Divine to manifest through us.
Evening Prayer
The Jail Ministry's Evening Prayer Service is held in the women's pod at the Downtown Facility at the San Francisco County Jail. Services are held twice a month. Ours is a ministry of presence. We provide a simple Evening Prayer service and an opportunity for fellowship and support between the women and the lay ministers.

Stories from Mom/Dad
Known in this country and abroad, the very popular Stories from Mom/Dad Program serves the inmates of the San Francisco County Jails who are parents. Volunteers bring childrenšs books and tape recorders to incarcerated parents. The parent chooses a book and the volunteers record her or his voice as they read to their child. The book and tape are then sent to the children.
