What is Catholic in Recovery (CIR)?
Catholic in Recovery (CIR) is a community of men and women finding freedom from a variety of addictions, compulsions, and unhealthy attachments by blending the spiritual wisdom of 12-step recovery with the sacramental life of the Catholic Church. CIR offers support for individuals and families through virtual and in-person recovery meetings, retreats, digital resources, and content overlapping recovery principles with Catholic traditions. The organization was founded by Scott Weeman, a Saint Brigid parishioner and previous Young Adult Coordinator.
Visit Catholic in Recovery and join CIR+ to find help, learn more about addiction, connect with other CIR members, read recovery related articles, sign up to pray the CIR Novena, and find other helpful resources. You are not alone and help is available, no matter how far down the scale you have gone.
What's happening at St. B's?
Saint Brigid Parish currently hosts a weekly lust addiction meeting as part of our alliance with Catholic in Recovery (CIR). The meetings consist of reading literature from CIR that connects the Sunday readings with recovery principles as well as time for group sharing. These meetings are strictly confidential.
