Guidance

A hands on ministry

Every step of the way, guests are guided to make the best choices for their continuing growth in mind, body and spirit. Our mission is more than to support — it’s to heal

 

Daily Guidance

Guests receive daily support and guidance from house leaders through:

• House meetings and private feedback
• Regular and emergency staff reviews
• Weekly recovery programs (AA/NA) led by guest-sponsors
• Spiritual guidance by on-site clergy, trained staff and volunteers

The Corporal Works of Mercy (Matthew 25:35-40) form the basis of all our efforts and activities, which are enriched by the presence and stewardship of clergy in residence. Spiritual counseling is available through our clergy, regardless of religious preference.  Catholic services are available and voluntary.

Give drink to the thirsty
Clothe the naked
Shelter the homeless
Visit the sick
Visit the imprisoned, or ransom the captive
Bury the dead

Spiritual Guidance in Residence

Our campus is blessed with the working presence of Catholic nuns, priests and deacons, many from the USA and others from Guatemala, India and the Philippines. Cultural diversity enriches our population and emphasizes that we are part of a universal family.
