SUPPORT FOR ADDICTIONS
Opioid addiction has reached epidemic proportions and rates are especially high in the state of Pennsylvania. Addiction, no matter what form it takes, is causing much suffering in the lives of many of our Archdiocesan families and they are looking to the Church for hope and help. There is a new webpage 'Hope in Christ: Spiritual Support for Addiction' that can be found on the link below. Here you will find spiritual support, events, and resources for families struggling with addiction. http://archphila.org/hope -
