Our faith community can be a source of strength and support. Pope Francis shares that a “heart hardened to human suffering and misery is one of the worst things that can happen,” and he prays “for the grace to weep, the grace for the church to weep and make reparation.”
The Diocesan Office of Restorative Justice is sponsoring a ten-week support group called “The Journey” to help transform this suffering into hope or healing. The group will meet from 7-9 pm on Thursday evenings at St. Anthony Catholic Church in Upland (2110 N. San Antonio, Upland, CA 91784), from January 8-March 19, 2015. There is no charge to attend this group. It is important that people sign up early because we want to meet individually with those interested before the sessions actually start to ensure they are in the right group. For more information, contact Anna Hamilton at the Diocesan Office of Restorative Justice: 909-475-5474 or This email address is being protected from spambots.
