‘Friends of Cuan Mhuire’, a new nationwide network to support people in recovery from addiction, opened a centre in Tralee, Co. Kerry last week.
Bishop Ray Browne, who made the initiative one of the special projects for the ‘Year of Mercy’ in the Diocese of Kerry, said he hopes that the new centre at 11 High Street will be the first of many across the county.
Thanking Bishop Browne for his support, Sr Consilio said: “Every town in Ireland is impacted by addiction, the recovery programme is only half the battle. Remaining in recovery, day by day, can be a challenge and people need a lot of encouragement and support.”
