On the weekend of September 12-13, the Church in New York will commemorate Recovery Sunday: an annual day of prayer for those struggling with, and in recovery of, addictive illnesses to drugs, alcohol, gambling, and other substances and behaviors. Begun in 1999 by Cardinal O’Connor with the help of Father Daniel Egan, S.A. and Therese Engel, Recovery Sunday continues under the pastoral leadership of Cardinal Dolan.
