Paths of Renewed Encounter
The Annual Restorative Justice Ministry Day of Reflection

In recent years, Restorative Justice has set aside a day to reflect on ministry to the incarcerated.
Continuing that tradition, lay faithful are invited to participate in this Day of Reflection.Date: July 26, 2025, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

People who are imprisoned are still made in the image and likeness of God. No matter what people have done, they deserve the opportunity to seek and find the Truth of Christ. Restorative Justice is a principled approach to achieving justice that emphasizes living in right-relationship and resonates deeply with Gospel values and Catholic Social Teaching.

Join Deacon Tim Hayden, and the Restorative Justice Ministry team as we explore and reflect upon the many ways in which our encounters may help inmates discover the good news of the Gospel and how such encounters can transform their lives. The agenda includes Mass with Very Reverend James Misko, Diocesan Administrator, a presentation by Keynote Speaker Caitlin Morneau, Director of Restorative Justice at the Catholic Mobilizing Network, and more.

Keynote Speaker Topics:

• A Restorative approach to a Catholic Ministry
• Restorative Practices and Opportunities in Ministry
• Restorative Justice for healing in individuals, relationships, and communities 

Continental breakfast and lunch will be provided to attendees.
