The mission of Restorative Justice Ministry is to provide a Catholic pastoral presence to the men, women and children incarcerated in the Diocese of San Jose in our county jails, juvenile facilities and prisons. Restorative Justice seeks also to provide a healing service to victims, families of victims, offenders, families of offenders and to all who are affected by the criminal justice system.  There are four general categories of services:  worship, bible study, sacramental preparation and one-on-one ministry.

Bereavement ministers visit families who have experienced a loss, comfort them and support them with prayers during these times of special needs.
