Holy Family - St. Dismas Prison Ministry is focused on bringing the Good News of Jesus Christ and our Catholic Faith to the imprisoned woman at the Mountain View Correction Facility located in Gatesville Texas.
We provide the Thursday evening Catholic primary service with Mass or Communion Service followed by Faith Formation studies with group discussion. The RCIA program is conducted on a regular basis.
Please contact Deacon Tim Hayden to discuss the possibility of joining us during one of our visits as a special visitor. Permission is given to visit up to four times before needing official long term approval.
