On June 19, the Justin’s Place Recovery Program celebrated their 22nd graduation ceremony at Moorings Presbyterian Church in Naples.

The second Justin’s Place graduation this year saw 21 people graduate from the program, and featured an opening trio of songs by the Justin’s Place Choir.  Vann Ellison, president and CEO of St. Matthew’s House, delivered a message from Matthew 6:33, while graduate Ashley Galloway and Justin’s Place alumnus Connor Bagley shared their powerful stories of transformation.

After the testimonies (about 33 minutes into the program), be sure to watch the graduates receive their certificates and share the reasons they are thankful.
