Alternatives to Incarceration: Moving in a Different Direction Workshop,
Saturday, October 22, 2011, 9:00–4:00, Center for Pastoral Leadership
Mr. Terry J. Collins, former director of the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections will be the keynote speaker at the annual Prison Ministry workshop on Saturday, October 22, 2011, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., at the Center for Pastoral Leadership in Wickliffe, Ohio. Mr. Collins will discuss the current situation in corrections, especially the impact of state and local budget constraints, the privatization of correctional facilities, and the passage of HB 86 on local community resources. In addition, speakers from the Lake County Mental Health Court, the Youngstown Veterans Treatment Court, and the Cuyahoga County Re-Entry Court will discuss three specialty courts that employ a problem-solving approach to court processing in lieu of more traditional court procedures, and offer judicially supervised, community-based treatment plans and other court conditions as alternatives to incarceration.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call Paula Moscovic at 216-696-6525 or 1-800-869-6525, ext. 3500.
Gathering of Lay Ecclesial Ministers, multiple dates and locations
So often we find ourselves in situations where we’re solving problems, preparing programs and/or “busy about many things” – a “Martha” in many ways. Why not give yourself an opportunity to just be a “Mary” for a few hours. Share a simple meal! Share a simple prayer! Share the simplicity of life!
We will gather from 11:30 am-2:00 pm with two dates at this time: October 26, 2011 at St. Francis of Assisi, Gates Mills; and November 9, 2011 at Holy Martyrs, Medina. Other venues are still to be arranged. Registration details will be emailed.
