Join Catholic Volunteers from Prison Ministry and the Office of Life, Justice and Advocacy at a Restorative Justice Workshop.
When:
Mass and Morning Hospitality begin at 9 am
Workshop: 10 am am to 12:30 pm in the Church
Where:
St. Jerome Catholic Church 10895 Hamlin Blvd. Largo, FL 33774
About the Workshop:
Catholic social teaching leads us to encourage models of restorative justice that seek to address crime in terms of the harm done to victims and communities, not simply as a violation of law. Restorative justice is concerned about who was impacted, what their needs are, and how to move forward with healing and right-relationship.
At this workshop, you will hear the story of a family directly impacted by crime and examples of restorative practices in criminal justice, schools, and ministry. We hope that this workshop may lay the groundwork for future trainings in our diocese and help us to become better advocates for the incorporation of restorative practices in our homes, schools, prisons and beyond.
