    How are family and friends to deal with those having an alcohol or drug problem? 

    An innovative new kit, "Take Charge," is currently available at St. Francis Parish.   These materials are directed toward the families of those suffering from alcohol or drug abuse/ dependence. The kit consists of an informative video, audio, and literature, all designed to provide support, information, and guidance to the family members and friends of those with an alcohol or drug problem.


    Are You Connected to the Recovery Community?

    Are you familiar with Alcoholics Anonymous or other 12 step drug addiction support groups and the recovery community for people trying to be sober?

    You can help other members of St. Francis find the recovery community.  Learn how by calling Scott at the Parish Social Ministry Office (821-2121).
