Kolbe Prison Ministry (KPM)

Besides weekly programs, Kolbe Prison Ministry (KPM) is active in the state prisons with 3 day retreats (modelled after ACTS) followed by RCIA to ‘form’ those wanting to become Catholic or return to the Church. There will be 12 Kolbe retreats planned in 2019 within the Archdiocese. If you are interested you can find more details on the Kolbe Prison Ministries San Antonio website. Also Kolbe retreats are being held throughout the state of Texas and now into Louisiana through the effort of the mission group from Fredericksburg where this ministry first began.
