Mercy Hospice, a ministry of Catholic Social Services of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, celebrated National Recovery Month by hosting its Fifth Annual Mercy Hospice Recovery Walk on Wednesday, Sept. 11. The initiative supports those currently in recovery and prayerfully remembers loved ones who lost their lives as a result of addiction. This year’s theme was “Five Years Walking in Recovery.”
