This Gospel mandate compels all followers of Jesus to serve those who are incarcerated. Kolbe House has opportunities for individuals and parishes to join in the mission of Kolbe House.
We are currently accepting applications for jail ministry beginning in the fall. Please fill out a Volunteer Interest Form and our volunteer coordinator will be in contact with you.
