Keryx Prison Ministry

Keryx is a lay led, non-profit, inter-denominational, Christian based prison ministry using the Cursillo method, designed to be conducted in any correctional institution without substantive change in format or procedure.

The purpose of Keryx Prison Ministry is the Christianization of the correctional institution through the actions of small apostolic prayer support groups of prison residents, trained and encouraged by Keryx volunteers, working within their environment.

Keryx 4 at Collins Correctional Facility

Since moving the ministry from the closed Gowanda facility to Collins side 1, we have been able to hold several retreats as well as the weekly faith sharing meetings.

Praise God! The Keryx 4 retreat held October 22 – 24 (Tuesday through Thursday) was a blessing for many incarcerated individuals, including those who helped as stewards and even three who served as table leaders!
