Mercy Hospice

September is National Recovery Month. Catholic Social Services (CSS) is committed to restoring and strengthening families and promoting the integral health and well-being of those who struggle with substance use disorders as well as their families and loved ones.

Mercy Hospice, part of the Housing and Homeless Services Division of CSS, is celebrating National Recovery Month by hosting the Fourth Annual Mercy Hospice Recovery Walk on Wednesday, September 6th. This initiative supports those in recovery and to prayerfully remember loved ones who lost their lives as a result of addiction. Beginning at Mercy Hospice, the walk will end with a light dinner at Women of Hope on Lombard Street.
