Restorative Justice

"I was in prison and you visited me . ...I tell you whenever you did this for one of the least important of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did it for me!"— Matthew 25.36, 40

The mission of Restorative Justice Ministry is to provide a Catholic pastoral presence to the over 4,500 men, women and children incarcerated in the Diocese of San Jose in our county jails, juvenile facilities and prisons that reflects a sensitivity to the ethnic and cultural differences and needs of this special population.

Restorative Justice seeks also to provide and healing service to victims, families of victims, offenders, families of offenders and to all who are affected by the criminal justice system. 

The primary focus of Restorative is to communicate the GOOD NEWS of God's unconditional love for all.
