My wife and I serve in the prison ministry for our church. We celebrate Mass on Fridays with the inmates as this is the only time the prison allows. Would that fulfill the Sunday obligations? We go to Mass on Saturday evenings anyway, but we just worry about the inmates as whether or not they satisfy the obligations.
God bless your ministry.
 
than,

This link should answer your question about what the prisoners can do when Mass is not available to them on Sunday. I’ve included some other links for people who are interested in evangelizing the imprisoned. You might also want to know that Catholic Answers has never turned down a request by prisoners for free literature, including subscriptions to This Rock. If you have any further questions or concerns that are not answered by this link, please contact Catholic Answers directly. God bless you for your ministry!
