Hundreds of people involved in the world of Restorative Justice are about to descend on the Twin Cities for their biannual national conference. If you’re not familiar with the term "restorative justice", you may be familiar with some of its practices – like bringing offenders, victims and the community together – with the ultimate goals of accountability and the repairing of harm.

Fr. Dan Griffith, rector of the Basilica of St. Mary and founding Director of the Initiative of Restorative Justice and Healing, and Caitlin Morneau, Director of Restorative Justice for the Catholic Mobilizing Network, sat down with host Patrick Conley to share more about the intersections between restorative justice and the Catholic Church.
