Summary:

The Calix Society is not a Catholic AA, but believes that the 12-Step program of AA is the best system of recovery for alcoholics.  The Calix Society aims at addressing the particular spiritual needs of Catholics in recovery.  It enables Catholics who may have abandoned or neglected their faith during active alcoholism to return and have the fellowship of other Catholics in recovery.  Its goals are to promote total abstinence for those in recovery, as well as the spiritual development and the sanctification of the whole personality of its members.

Why does FASTEN recommend this resource?

The Calix Society recognizes the value of the 12 Step program of Alcoholics Anonymous while at the same time meeting the need of its Catholic members to return to their faith and to grow spiritually.  It offers inexpensive literature for parishes interested in starting new units.
