GLOUCESTER CITY, NJ (March 22, 2023)(CNBNews)--A prayer service for people addicted to drugs and alcohol will be held on Sunday, March 26 at St. Mary's Church, 426 Monmouth Street, from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM. 

The organizer of the event, who wishes to remain anonymous, was asked why it was being held. "

"Since the beginning of the year it seems we have been losing more people to drugs, alcohol, and mental illnesses than ever before. Many of them I knew.  Not just from My Father's House, but, from the entire community in the South Jersey region," she said. 

"There is strength in numbers. And, I thought if members of all the different faiths could come to pray under one roof maybe GOD would see how sincere we all are. That our pleas come from our hearts. That we are in desperate need of his Blessings. The service is being held at St. Mary's Church, 426 Monmouth Street, Gloucester City, Sunday, March 26, from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM. You don't have to be Catholic or a member of My Father's House to attend.  All are welcome, family and friends of addicts, those in recovery, and those who are suffering from the illness. There is strength in numbers, please come to St. Mary Church this Sunday, and pray with us. It is only for an hour; those who are fighting these illnesses (alcohol, drugs, mental illnesses), along with their families and friends need your support."
