CIR RETREATS
HOPE & HEALING
Catholic in Recovery retreats offer hope and healing for individuals and family members impacted by a variety of addictions, compulsions, and unhealthy attachments. Retreat participants are given various opportunities to encounter the Lord and deepen their recovery through various talks, personal testimonies, meetings, prayer and reflection time, engaging the sacraments, and fellowship with others seeking recovery rooted in Catholic spirituality. All are welcome to attend, including those new to recovery, those with long-term recovery, people new or returning to the Catholic Church, those who have been practicing Catholics for a long time, and everyone in between.
When in the grips of addiction it can be difficult to seek God’s help. But the power of God is more than a concept — it’s a real, personal force of love and grace that can free us from the shackles of darkness and give us new life!
