Prison Chaplaincy

Our chaplains are on hand in prisons across South East Queensland to support prisoners to make sense of their current experience, by offering a listening ear. We are told that our chaplains provide a sense of dynamic security through the calmer and more manageable environment their presence and services create for prisoners.We don’t set outcomes for what needs to be achieved during a person’s time with a chaplain, instead our chaplains will be guided by the prisoner and what they need to talk about.

For many people a visit from a chaplain leaves them experiencing a sense of peace, acceptance of what is happening for them, some clarity about how they can move forward and relief that they have been able to share their story with someone they can trust in extreme confidence. All discussions with chaplains are confidential and the chaplains do not take notes.
