As we all celebrate the Christmas season, we at Philippine Jesuit Prison Service Foundation, Inc. (PJPS) call to mind your many acts of generosity in support of our prison ministry. Your prayer and support have been truly a grace for all of us in PJPS and the people we serve. We are equally consoled to see how our constant collaboration lights up small pockets of light that serve as our guiding stars in finding God’s presence in our ministry.

Prison Awareness Week Update
PJPS launched a fundraising campaign last October in line with the celebration of the Prison Awareness Week. The funds collected were used to buy basic needs (e.g. noodles, canned goods, rice, etc.) for the inmates of New Bilibid Prison. Donations in kind were also accepted in behalf of the inmates. Three schools (Xavier High School, Manresa and Immaculate Concepcion Academy) participated in a "solidarity campaign" where students were invited to buy one (1) bath soap and send it to an inmate with a letter of encouragement and prayers. All the fruits of these efforts were able to produce more than two thousand (2,000) gift packs and were distributed to selected group of inmates: the visitorless, indigents, sick and old, juvenile.
Below is the summary of the distributed gift packs during the Prison Awareness Week (24 - 30 Oct).
