C-12 | 101 | Completing the Circle: What is Your Role in Restorative Justice?

Room 101
Speaker: Tricia Worrell & Team

Restorative Justice continues to be discussed in our parishes, in the media and within our criminal justice system. Do you know the teaching behind these words and why they are important to civil and Christian living? This workshop will discuss our Catholic Social Teaching behind this catch phrase and provide practical ways to implement Restorative Justice Circles within your home, classroom, parish and community. During this workshop, you will hear stories of restoration from a Grand Rapids Police Officer, a Michigan Department of Corrections Offenders Success Coordinator and a returned citizen. Come learn with us why it is essential to open our hearts to all, especially to those who have greatly offended us.
