Where life is made different.
The HOPE Center envisions a healing community of faith where hope is planted, love reigns, and the dignity and rights of every human person are upheld, enabling individuals recovering from substance abuse to experience renewal of life, restored relationships, and meaningful reintegration into society.
The HOPE Center commits itself to sowing the seeds of hope and teaching the art of living by providing a holistic, psycho-spiritual, and community-based recovery program for individuals with mild to moderate level of addiction.
Guided by the pillars of community life (koinonia), prayer life (leitourgia), community service (diakonia and martyria), and continuing formation (kerygma), the Center journeys with beneficiaries through a structured pathway of recovery that nurtures personal transformation, moral renewal, spiritual resilience, and social responsibility, supported by a continuum of care involving family, community, and institutional partnerships.
A four-phased 150-day intensive non-treatment social model of effective intervention to substance abuse that offers experiential learning, positive role modeling, individual responsibility for recovery, mutual care and a transitory living in a faith-based community with a structured family environment offering rehabilitation services.
In pursuit of its vision and mission, the HOPE Center seeks to:
​

HOPE stands for the House of Prayer and Evangelization, a healing community. It is a model of healing which utilizes psycho-spiritual and community approach to changing behavior and imparting Gospel values to residents who suffer from mild to moderate degrees of substance addictions and other problems pertaining to behavior. It features informal and casual environment with a distinct communal environment. It promotes shared responsibility of residents that define their status and scope of responsibility for maintaining the healing community. It provides a safe environment with established norms, values, and rules that establish boundaries and expectations. There is a daily structured program of activities that include arrangements for maintaining and developing the community as well as various formal and informal healing activities. It also promotes a self-help and mutual help driven healing.
"Even when someone's life appears completely wrecked, even when we see it devastated by vices or addictions, God is present there. If we let ourselves be guided by the Spirit rather than our own preconceptions, we can and must try to find the Lord in every human life."
Pope Francis, Gaudete et Exsultate, #42
“The way of the cross is the way of hope, the way of the future. Those who take up this way with generosity and faith give hope and a future to humanity. And I would like you to be sowers of hope.”
Pope Francis, World Youth Day (Krakow)
