Recovery: St. Matthias Ministry This ministry is dedicated to reaching and supporting individuals struggling with drug and alcohol problems. We also provide help to families in need of guidance or support due to a loved one’s drug or alcohol problem. These problems can affect their everyday lives and also the lives of their families and loved ones. Rhode Island has one of the highest percentages of illicit drug, marijuana and alcohol use in the country. Therefore, this ministry also provides resource information, workshops, and education to the public in collaboration with other faith-based groups and recovery organizations
