Harm, Healing, and Human Dignity: A Catholic Encounter with Restorative Justice
Hosted by Catholic Apostolate Center on Tuesday, June 11th, 2019
Now available for purchase, Catholic Mobilizing Network's newly released faith formation guide encourages groups and individuals to reflect upon the Catholic call to restorative justice. Harm, Healing, and Human Dignity invites readers to explore ways of responding to harm and violence that foster a culture of encounter and become missionary disciples in transforming the broken criminal justice system.
Join CMN's Director of Restorative Justice, Caitlin Morneau, for a dialogue with Catholic restorative justice practitioners about ways that Catholic individuals and institutions can integrate restorative practices to strengthen ministry, foster healing, and advance Gospel-centered justice.
Featuring:
Fr. David Kelly, C.PP.S of Precious Blood Ministry of Reconciliation

Empowering Church Leaders to Address Racism
Co-hosted by National Catholic Federation for Youth Ministry, United States Catholic Mission Association, and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops on Tuesday, May 14th, 2019
In November 2018, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops approved a pastoral letter against racism – their first in 40 years. In this webinar, presenters introduce the main themes of Open Wide Our Hearts: The Enduring Call to Love; consider how to implement it from the perspectives of restorative justice, youth ministry, and mission; and begin a conversation about racism and how we can individually and collectively respond.

Donna Grimes, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
Don McCrabb, United States Catholic Mission Association
