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)
