Archbishop of Dublin addresses Quenching the Thirst: Spirituality and Addiction workshop.
Healing for those afflicted with addiction to drugs or alcohol must come from the community, the Catholic Archbishop of Dublin has said.
Opening a workshop in Dublin entitled Quenching the Thirst: Spirituality and Addiction, Archbishop Diarmuid Martin said: “Community must become the pace where broken lives are welcomed back into a place of integration and healing.”
Many young people in particular are drawn into the world of drinking because they are told it will help them to socialise, he said.
“For some, alcohol and drug use sadly open for them a path which is the opposite of socialising - a path of isolation and marginalisation from society and community.”
