The St. Peter Claver Prison Ministry is a part of the St. Vincent DePaul Society. We are Catholic
volunteers committed to reducing recidivism in Florida. We offer spiritual and practical training
programs that start in prison and continue after the inmate is released. Our goal is to provide
the resources, guidance, and encouragement needed for men and women to move on to
permanent housing and employment in our community. 


We conduct weekly training sessions to change behavioral thinking, develop employment skills,
set goals and develop a spiritual life outside of prison. Upon completion of the Passport to
Success Program
, participants are given a backpack personalized to contain what each recently
released person will need to get started.
