Restoration is the newspaper of Madonna House. Its goal, in Catherine Doherty’s (founder) words, is to “foster the love of God, love for his Church, and the realization that man, if he continues to live without God in this mad and tragic world, will perish.”

We strive to achieve this goal with a colorful, down-to-earth array of reflections on the Gospel challenges of today, stories, Church teachings, spiritual reflections, personal witness and community news. Restoration is drawn from the day-to-day life of our Christian community. We don’t preach at you. We simply share with you our joys and struggles in trying to live the Gospel of Jesus Christ without compromise in today’s world.
