Support Our Work

We don’t want anyone in the pews, the parish, or the surrounding community to feel alone, ashamed, and afraid if they or someone they love is struggling with any type of addiction. The Church is a place of love and mercy; healing and hope for everyone — especially those who feel ostracized.

At AFIRE, we are committed to providing educational and transformational programs and materials that reduce stigma and provide healing and hope. We need your help to accomplish our mission. Scroll down to see details about our newest project and current fundraising campaign. Thank you!

CURRENT FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGNS

1. Subtitles for We Thirst Video Series

We have have had many requests, and we have long wanted to make our We Thirst: Christian Reflections on Addiction video series available in other languages, but the cost has prevented us from doing so. With technology advancing so rapidly, it is becoming more feasible. Still, we cannot do this without your support.

Please consider donating today to help us provide Spanish subtitles and bring healing and hope to those within our churches (and beyond!) who cannot speak the English language.

2. Catholic Evidence-Based Recovery Program

Our unique Catholic program bridges the divide between faith and science in addiction recovery.  The program is built upon Saint Ignatius of Loyola's Spiritual Exercises, which provide a methodology and tools that are scientifically shown to be effective for addiction recovery and relapse prevention.

We’ve done years of research, but now we need your help to make this important and unique addiction recovery and relapse prevention program a reality. Our dream is that parishes, churches, and other organizations worldwide may be able to offer this evidence-based program to those who are seeking help to break the cycle of addictions, and/or for those who would like to maintain their recovery and prevent relapse.

Thank you for your support. This is a big undertaking, and it will be completely impossible without you! Every donation counts. God bless you for your generosity.
