Welcome to the Calix Society
Faith, Fellowship, and Sobriety in Christ
The Calix Society is a fellowship of Catholics and others impacted by addiction, united by a shared desire for sobriety and spiritual growth. By combining the 12 Step program with Catholic teachings, we offer support for those who are overcoming the physical, emotional, and spiritual effects of addiction. Through participation in the 12 Step program, prayer, and the sacraments, we strive to rebuild lives, one day at a time, with sobriety and spiritual development at the heart.
Growing in Sobriety and Spirituality, Together
At the Calix Society, we believe that recovery from addiction is possible when we lean on our faith and find strength in fellowship. Through regular meetings, spiritual guidance, and community, we support your journey toward a fulfilling, sober life. Here’s how you can take the first step with Calix Society.
