Kolbe Prison Ministries of San Antonio (KPM SA) is a regional branch of the Texas-wide Kolbe Prison Ministries (KPM) Catholic organization (sometimes referred to as ‘Kolbe Missions’) founded several years ago in Fredericksburg. KPM SA ministers to incarcerated men and women in five Texas State prisons and jails near San Antonio, and other detention facilities in the Archdiocese of San Antonio. We’ve found that offenders have a much greater chance of staying out of prison and making lasting changes in their lives if we help them to develop a strong faith and offer hope for a better way of living through the truth of the Catholic Church. Kolbe Prison Ministry volunteers are making up to three visits each week to the five state penitentiaries in the Archdiocese of San Antonio.
