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.
