Drohobych, June 25, 2011

On June 25, Ivan Hnativ and Wojciech ¯mudziñski SJ have met in Drohobych to initiate the activity of the Catholic Counseling Center for people addicted to alcohol. The Center will start in few days in the parish church led by Fr. Ivan. Those who are looking for help will receive here pedagogical and spiritual support as well as they will be invited to make abstinence vows in the solemn liturgical setting. Men who decided to dedicate their time to help others have been saved from the dependency many years and now want to share their experience of freedom and to testify that sober life is beautiful and meaningful. All the best for the beginning.
