Does your parish support addiction recovery?

Does your parish do enough to support addiction recovery?    Tim Flanigan believes that to help recovering addicts, parishes need to do more than rent out their rec room. He writes, "Pope Francis has described the Catholic Church as a field hospital for the wounded. As Christians we need to proclaim that God offers grace, mercy, everlasting love, and forgiveness to everyone--including those struggling with active addiction." Do you agree? Does your parish support an Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous program?  Does your parish makes a point to welcome recovering addicts?    Read the rest of the essay and take our survey--we want to hear from you!
