iTHIRST Update
The iTHIRST Team has begun ‘virtual’ iTHIRST Spiritual Companionship training with 33 participants in the DIocese of Camden, NJ. The training will continue throughout the months of May and June, culminating in early July. Upon completion of this training, participants will receive continuing education credits from Seton Hall University, and will be qualified to provide both spiritual consolation and recovery resource information to those affected by addiction and their families throughout the parishes in the diocese. Participants will also work with their respective pastors to develop recovery ministries that fit the needs of their parishes. The virtual training will allow us to bring our curriculum and training to dioceses and communities anywhere in the world, in an effort to fulfill the mission of empowering the Church to become a resource for those suffering from addictions and their families. The Spanish language version of the curriculum will soon be completed, and a “train the trainer” program is currently in development.
