PRISON WEEK 13TH TO 19TH OCTOBER 2024 aims to gather the Church in prayer for the needs of all those affected by prisons: prisoners and their families, victims of crime and their communities, those working in the criminal justice system and the many people caring for those affected by crime inside and outside of our prisons. The theme for this year is – Jesus looked at him and loved him. This year we invite you to remember that he looks at you and loves you, as he looks at them and loves them.
