There are a variety of ways volunteers minister to the incarcerated. Exactly what they do depends on the facility and the program in which they serve. Some examples are:

• Attending Mass with inmates
• Sharing scripture in a small group
• Reading and discussing the catechism with inmates
• Visiting with an inmate once a month
• Visiting men in the infirmary
• Being a catechist or a sponsor in the RCIA process
• Leading a Liturgy of the Word or a Communion Service for inmates
• Writing to inmates
