The holiday season can be an especially difficult time to cope with isolation, grief, addictions, and mental health struggles. Please think about ways you can reach out to those who may be struggling this year. Many resources can be accessed on the Diocesan website relating to grief and other struggles. Resources available that are more specific to alcoholism and other substance use issues include: Catholic in Recovery (website) and The Twelve Steps and the Sacraments: A Catholic Journey through Recovery (book). The Association for Catholic Mental Health Ministers offers many resources to assist with mental health struggles. For additional resources or questions, please reach out to Jen Housel, Director for Community and Family Development at 570-207- 2213 x 1104.
