In response to the Lord’s command to visit Him in prison, St Silas Orthodox Prison Fellowship Society is a non-profit group of Orthodox Christians dedicated to the following goals:
1. Providing financial and material support for an Orthodox clergyman to engage in full-time Orthodox Christian prison ministry in the Canadian federal and provincial correctional system.
2. Raising awareness of Orthodoxy’s unique beliefs and practices among federal and provincial Chaplains across Canada, as well as the Interfaith Committee that advises the Correctional Service of Canada.
3. Supporting the religious education and practices of identified Orthodox Christian inmates across Canada through the provision of literature, sacred items, pastoral guidance, teaching, and liturgical services.
