In the wake of the clergy abuse scandal, three parishes in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis are participating in a parish pilot program on restorative justice and healing. Janine Geske will lead two forums on this topic on Sunday, April 29th. Justice Geske is a former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice and Marquette Law School Professor who has led conversations on restorative justice at the Vatican and throughout the world.
Justice Geske will be joined by Doctor Mark Umbreit, Director of the Center for Restorative Justice and Peacemaking at the University of Minnesota. The sessions will take place at two locations: St. Joseph the Worker, hosted by Father Mike Sullivan from 1—3 pm, and Our Lady of Lourdes, hosted by Father Dan Griffith from 4—6 pm. Everyone is welcome.
