Journey of Hope—From Violence to Healing


  • Download PDF Version available for use with email and print distribution.

To: Clergy religious, parish administrators, parish communicators, directors of religious education, parish ministry coordinators, social justice ministers, Respect Life Ministers
From: Jayna Hoffacker, director of Restorative Justice Ministry; Office of Life, Dignity and Justice 

Have you ever wondered: “What if a violent crime happened to me or my family? Wouldn’t I want the person who did this to receive the death penalty?” 

Join Georgians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty to hear murder victim family members share their stories of what happened to them—and how they eventually chose the path of healing rather than death sentencing and execution.  

Several of our Catholic communities will be hosting speakers. All are invited to attend! See promotional graphic. 

April 9, 7 p.m.
Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church
2855 Briarcliff Road NE, Atlanta, GA 30329
Co-hosted by the Archdiocese of Atlanta and Georgia Catholics Against the Death Penalty, Archbishop Hartmayer will speak alongside our Journey of Hope speakers.

April 10, 7 p.m.
