Novena for Those Impacted by Addiction


Scott Weeman, Founder, Catholic in Recovery, announced today (9/22/2020) the following message at https://catholicinrecovery.com/novena/

The novena begins tomorrow so sign up immediately.

“Our Catholic in Recovery team is excited to share the launch of a new Catholic in Recovery Novena! A novena is a nine-day prayer rooted in ancient tradition that invites us to consider a specific intention and often invokes the intercession of a saint or saints. We will be accompanied by the likes of Saint Jude, Saint Maximilian Kolbe, Saint Augustine, Saint Monica, and others who are related to addiction recovery as we bring our intentions to the Lord. We hope this serves as a source of hope and healing for anyone impacted by addictions, compulsions, and unhealthy attachments.


Please join us in praying the Catholic in Recovery Novena by clicking the link above and signing up with your email address. With new participants signing up each day, we will be continually praying with and for each other. Families and communities will have the opportunity to unite in prayer together through shared intentions. Please share this valuable resource with others who may need the spiritual communion of prayer and hope, and be sure to sign up today to join us in prayer beginning tomorrow!”

"Catholic in Recovery"

"Catholic in Recovery (https://catholicinrecovery.com) is a nonprofit organization that seeks to serve those suffering from addictions and unhealthy attachments (including alcoholism, drug addiction, pornography addiction, sex and relationship addiction, compulsive overeating and food addictions, gambling addiction, codependency and the impact on family, and general fear, control, and anxiety).

The organization was started by the passion of Scott Weeman as he found healing and new life through the help of twelve step recovery and the sacramental love and mercy provided by the Catholic Church. We support parishes and communities with group resources that draw people closer to these two powerful sources of grace. It is the aim of Catholic in Recovery to share the Good News that God can bring about healing and recovery, even in the most hopeless of cases."
