Pagan Pastoral Outreach

Canadian outreach to Pagans in various institutional environments.

Many thanks to Marcel 'Felix' Giannelia at Skeena.net
for hosting and supporting this website.

The Pagan Pastoral Outreach association began as the prison and hospital committee of ten year’s standing within the Pagan Federation/ Fédération païenne Canada.

As that organization is not a religious body as such, but is for advocacy, networking, disseminating information, etc., we formed a group just for the ministerial work. PFPC endorses us and gives us its blessing, recognizing the founders as long-time and respected priestesses and the work we do to be of value to the Pagan community.

Get in touch - If you are interested in any facet of Paganism in an institutional setting, whether you are a volunteer or want to be, or an institutional chaplain dealing with Pagan prisoners or patients, or just interested in knowing more, contact us.

For information on Paganism, Wicca, Asatru, Druidry, Ceremonial and Reconstructionism, visit the PFPC site.In addition, an excellent objective source is the Ontario Consultants on Religious Tolerance (Neo-Pagan issues or general).We recommend that you support them via ordering your books through their site).

Please note: Pagan Pastoral Outreach is a Canadian organization. Although we welcome general inquiries from other countries, we are not able to respond to specific inmates' requests from outside Canada.
