Notice of these meetings are announced in the RACA newsletter. The Board of Directors usually meets annually. RACA encourages its members to start local and area meetings, retreats, and gatherings, and to please let the Director know in advance of such activities so that due announcement can be made to all the membership. Top Activities RACA has sponsored educational conferences and clergy seminars in various dioceses, and has had training courses at several seminaries. These efforts to cope with one of the Church's major pastoral problems have been led by RACA members who have had special training in the field of addiction.
Several members work full time as alcoholism counselors in hospitals and treatment centers.
Others are active in various organizations that are concerned with the problem of addiction - with both addicts and their families. Assistance and information are available from the RACA members listed on the home page. The calls are returned by RACA members with many years of sobriety and extensive experience in assisting clergy and clergy family members with drinking problems. They may live hundreds of miles from you, but they are as close as your telephone. Each has a copy of the confidential membership directory and can, if you wish, locate a member within driving distance of your home.
