Addiction is not only a physical or psychological disease, but a Spiritual disease. With God all things are possible, without God we can do nothing. Perhaps no one knows or understands this quite like someone struggling with substance abuse disorder or addiction and those who love them. Every month we pray for those who are struggling with this disease and those who love them.
Addiction and substance abuse can be a stark reminder of our own struggles, weaknesses and failings and that it is only in, with, and through God, we overcome them and are healed.
Join us Sunday November 29th at 12-noon St. Patrick’s Church 30 Main St, South Hadley as we pray for all those suffering with this illness and those who love them. All Are Welcome
