Restorative Justice

The Restorative Justice Ministry of the Diocese of Austin is directed toward reducing trauma within correctional facilities, recidivism, and increasing public safety through a growth in faith and healing for offenders, ex-offenders, their families and for the victims of crime. Fr. Harry Dean and Deacon Ronnie Lastovica bring helpful and hopeful Catholic perspective and teaching to the hard topics relevant to our incarcerated brothers and sisters. Restorative Justice brings hope in God’s Word to the incarcerated, the staff at correctional facilities, families of incarcerated individuals, and ex-offenders reacclimating to society.
