National
Conference

Every other year we convene the National Catholic Conference on Restorative Justice to advance justice and healing nationwide.

Join us in Atlanta!

CMN’s 2025 National Catholic Conference on Restorative Justice takes on the theme “Tangible Signs of Hope.” Drawing inspiration from the special Jubilee Year 2025, the conference will illuminate concrete examples of where and how Catholics can contribute to restorative justice efforts that transform the U.S. systems of capital punishment and incarceration.

Below is a general outline of the program each day. The conference will include a variety of formats for active participation, information, and resource sharing. Stay tuned for more details!
