Recovery is for Everyone
Every Person, Every Family,
Every Community 

This theme reminds us that people in recovery and those who support them that no one is along in their journey through recovery. Everyone’s journey is different and we are all in this together. 
 
This journey of recovery is a time where the church meets human beings who are suffering from the spiritual disease of addiction/attachment. It takes the place of God. As they try and find the unconditional love that God has for them in all the wrong places, the Church wishes to step in and walk with them to give them hope. 

“Then let us celebrate with a feast, because this son of mine was dead, and has come to life again; he was lost, and has been found.’ 
                                            -Luke 15: 23-24

The Cardinal’s addiction task force, “Archdiocesan Addiction Recovery Pastoral Support Services  (AARPSS) Office of Chaplaincy Programs” has joined with the Missionary Servants of the Most Holy Trinity to bring the “iThirst” Healing Initiative to our communities. The three-pronged initiative deals with Recovery, Spirituality and the Twelve Steps. Currently there are 20 plus “iThirst” companions in the Archdiocese journeying with those in recovery from attachments.
