On October 15, St. Peter Claver will host a program for parish members and the broader community addressing an issue which is of vital significance to all of us: criminal justice reform.
The Office for Catholic Social Justice Ministry of the Archdiocese of Hartford will sponsor this workshop on the need for criminal justice reform on Wednesday October 15, 7:00 pm at St. Peter Claver Church, 47 Pleasant St., West Hartford.
The workshop will feature members of Malta Justice Initiative who will provide insights from their new book, "The Justice Imperative: How Hyper-Incarceration Has Hijacked the American Dream."
