What is the Restorative Justice Network . . . ?

. . . an opportunity to WONDER, BELIEVE AND CREATE with God and each other as we are called to walk with those affected by the criminal justice system – victims, offenders, employees of the system, public servants, and communities. We strive to move from a system of retributive justice to one of restorative justice, where the wounds of crime are healed in community by God’s transforming love.

 . . . a place for all members of the Diocese of El Camino Real to:

-        be uplifted and inspired by stories of the Spirit at work

-        celebrate and support existing ministries

-        share resources

-        encourage one another

-        be inspired toward new ministries that bear Christ’s love

The Restorative Justice Commission of the Diocese of El Camino Real invites you to participate in this network.
