Catholic in Recovery (CIR) is a nonprofit organization that offers 12-step recovery programs to serve those suffering from addictions and unhealthy attachments and the family and friends that support them.  CIR 12-step programs are unique in they directly incorporate the Catholic Faith, Scripture and the Sacraments in the healing process. 

While care for creation is rooted in the bible and has always been a main tenant of Catholic Social Teaching, Pope Francis has infused it with new energy and urgency in his encyclical, Laudato Si.

This ministry is made up of volunteers who either: call, prepare or serve the food that is donated for a funeral. The family is charged for the core part of the meal. They are also charged with a nominal fee to use the Church facility to offset some of the costs.

There are four areas of service:

• Coordinator Team – This involves working with the parish office to coordinate the details of the luncheon. The coordinators take turns leading volunteers in the set- up, serving and clean-up of funeral luncheons.
• Food Donation Team - Donate homemade desserts for funeral luncheons when contacted by one of the Food Callers on the day of the funeral.
• Serving Team – Help with set up and serving of funeral luncheons.
• Food Caller Team – Contact volunteers to arrange for dessert donations. Time commitment varies based on the size of the funeral luncheon.

For more information on volunteering for these important ministries, please contact Terry Robinson at robinsont@stanthony.cc or (262) 691-1173 X1119.
