For boys, their lived experience and identity with other male figures impacts their growing sense of manhood. The relationship of father and son is a most, if not the most, critical relationship in the development of men. Learning how to recognize the issues and integrate them into men's lives will also be explored. The program will conclude with the Liturgy of the Eucharist. An exciting evening of prayer, lecture and discussion is planned for men who are or who have been overcome with addictions, obsessions, and abuse.
Recovery is a struggle and for many the spiritual aspect of recovery is the most intense struggle.
This program is designed for men who are just beginning the recovery process, for those with many years of sobriety, and those at every point in between. Light refreshments will be served. Hudson is currently the Director of the Diocese of Camden Catholic Charities Family Treatment of Addiction Center. The Family Treatment of Addiction Center provides professional, outpatient counseling for individuals, couples, families, and groups who struggle with the complicated personal, relational, and family problems which are engendered by substance and other addictive behaviors. This unique event offers the opportunity for a gathering of men to look at some of the developmental characteristics of becoming a man using well-known and popular images of men from film.
