The Society of St. John DeMatha exists to assist ex-offenders make a successful transition – spiritually, emotionally and financially – to a life outside of prison.
As of December 6, 2016, The Society of Saint John De Matha is a 501(3)c non-profit organization which exists with
Ecclesiastical Approval as a Private Association of the Christian Faithful for the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston for the spiritual and pastoral need of the People of God and for the purposes defined in the Statues.
Founded in 2014, the Society of St. John de Matha was led by Deacon Al Bothe, who desired to provide a safe place for ex-offenders to reenter the community upon their release. Thanks to the generosity and prayers of many people dedicated to this vision, The Rosary House opened its doors and was dedicated on Monday, April 27, 2015, by Daniel Cardinal DiNardo. Located in the Midtown area of Houston, at 3308 La Branch, the Rosary House is staffed by volunteers who assist with administrative functions, post-release classes (curriculum provided), and pre-release classes (curriculum provided).
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR MENTORING PROGRAM We are in need of male volunteers to assist with a mentoring program working with offenders in prison and continuing after their release.
Training will be provided. If you are interested please contact Anne Marie Daniel at
