Atlanta will host Catholic Mobilizing Network’s third biennial National Catholic Conference on Restorative Justice, to be held at Emory University, September 25-27. The Archdiocese of Atlanta and the Aquinas Center at the Candler School of Theology are proud collaborators on this conference.
This year’s gathering takes on the theme, “Tangible Signs of Hope.” Drawing inspiration from the special Jubilee Year 2025, the conference will illuminate concrete examples of where and how Catholics can contribute to restorative justice efforts that transform the U.S. systems of capital punishment and incarceration.
Early bird registration is now open! Visit catholicsmobilizing.org/conference-2025 for more information and registration.

The 2025 National Catholic Conference on Restorative Justice will highlight practical and innovative ways that people of faith collaborate with local communities and system actors to build hope-filled justice solutions. By working together in these turbulent times, we can create conditions for healing, reconciliation and liberation — for all who are impacted by crime and violence.
