The Samaritan Ministry of St. Malachi Church Invites You To a Virtual Program
Why
News headlines continue to highlight dire consequences related to abuse of alcohol and other drugs reminding us of the importance of the ongoing search for effective solutions. As parents or concerned loved ones, we are often reminded about our personal struggles to either reduce the risk of our children or other family members from becoming victims or, in fact, to cope with an already existing substance abuse problem in the family. Understanding your role, personally and collectively as a community, is vital in trying to eliminate the consequences of America’s #1 public health problem.

You will be able to make a contribution when you register. Thank you in advance for your generosity!
