This four-day training, facilitated by Fr. David Kelly and Sr. Janet Ryan, will be held at Precious Blood Ministry of Reconciliation, which has been using circles in community-based ministry since 2002, and is a highly regarded model for restorative justice in the city and country. In this training, participants will acquire knowledge, skills, and experience to facilitate peacemaking circles.

During this two day event, participants will experience restorative justice circles, learn from the facilitation of Dr. Sandra Pavelka, a highly-skilled Catholic RJ practitioner, and hear from Kate and Deacon Andy Grosmarie, a Catholic couple who advocated for a restorative process to take place after their daughter Ann was killed by her fiance, Conor. This opportunity is perfect for Catholics who are new to RJ and wish to better understand its principles and applications
