Celebrate in Fellowship the Gift of Recovery

Each year, Guest House plans several retreats to support clergy and men and women religious in recovery. The retreats are designed as an opportunity to celebrate recovery through the sharing of experience, strength, and hope by our retreat leaders and all those participating. Our retreats are offered to our alumni and other clergy and religious in recovery.

NATIONAL CATHOLIC COUNCIL ON ADDICTION

What is NCCA

Over 70 years ago, the National Catholic Council on Addiction (NCCA) was formed to bring a message of healing and hope to addicted persons and those who love them. Affiliated with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, the NCCA is committed to assisting its members to a greater awareness and acceptance of alcoholism, other chemical addictions, and prevention issues. With the support of Guest House, the NCCA is announcing a new initiative that seeks to connect people with existing resources in order to help bring healing and recovery to more people struggling with addictions.
