EDUCATION, INSPIRATION, AND MORE . . .
AFIRE is committed to bring you materials and resources for individuals, parishes, and communities. If you are ordering for a parish, we encourage you to display prayer cards, rosary brochures, bookmarks and other affordable handouts in the narthex or other public area in your church. This simple act will let your parishioners know that you understand this affliction and they need not be ashamed to reach out for support. It’s even better if you periodically set up a table after Mass in the narthex to distribute these in person. Many parishes have been surprised by the number of people who stop to talk and express their gratitude for these offerings.
AFIRE’s Rosary for Protection and Healing from Addictions in Society is a simple, full-color, trifold brochure that will guide parishioners to pray the Sorrowful Mysteries for everyone who is impacted by substance abuse and addictions (the afflicted, loved ones, the grieving, and more).
Place them in the narthex for those who are too ashamed to ask, and/or host a special rosary evening with this brochure as your guide.

We Thirst Series Virtue Prayer Cards
Each of the 5 sessions of the We Thirst: Christian Reflections on Addiction video series introduces a virtue that can be practiced to help endure or overcome trials. These virtue prayer cards are specifically designed to provide attendees with a prayer for each virtue. The prayers and artwork were created by AFIRE founder, Dr. Nina Marie Corona.
Distribute the virtue prayer cards at the appropriate session. You may also decide to display them in the narthex prior to hosting the series to attract attendees. They are also great for a wide variety of other uses where prayer for prudence, empathy, courage, faith, hope, love, and justice are needed!
