Hello. My name is Sarah Ramirez of Jesuit Refugee Service in Florence, AZ. I know prison ministry may not be your arena but I still wanted to introduce myself and the organization. I write on behalf of the incarcerated. I am the Administrative Assistant, and personally an Orthodox Christian, of Jesuit Refugee Service. We have been awarded the contract by the Federal Bureau of Prisons to provide religious services to Immigration detainees housed at the Florence Service Processing Center. Our Chaplain and his assistant minister to 100s of detainees daily attending to their spiritual needs. Part of what they do is hand out religious reading material. I have been building up inventory in our lending library and find we only have a few pamphlets on Orthodoxy. Have you ever been involved in prison ministry or would you care to at this time? Do you have access to any used or new paperback books on Orthodoxy that you could donate to our ministry? We would love books on the faith, lives of Saints or prayer booklets. English, Greek and Russian are the preferred languages. Currently we have at least a Russian Orthodox and perhaps still a Greek Orthodox detainee. There almost always seem to be a handful of Orthodox detainees at the facility. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Sarah Ramirez Jesuit Refugee Service P.O.B. 1130 65 E. Ruggles Avenue Florence, AZ 85232 520/868-0866 jrsflorence@aol.com
