They may not be the largest community events throughout the year, but they’re certainly some of the most important.

Three times a year, St. Matthew’s House conducts graduations for those who have completed our Justin’s Place Recovery Program.

February 24, 2022, marked our 36th graduation service. That evening, 24 graduates crossed the stage as their friends and family cheered them on. Since beginning in 2010, over 650 individuals have completed the program and started a new life free from addiction and substance abuse.

These events portray the heart of St. Matthew’s House. As our mission states, we strive “to change lives in a spiritual environment that is both compassionate and disciplined…” and that’s certainly prevalent in our Justin’s Place program.

If you never had the opportunity to attend one our graduations in person, we invite you to come and see the the work God is doing healing hearts and transforming lives. Our next graduation will be in June. Keep watching our “Events” page for more information to come.

Justin’s Place is the only year-long recovery program in Collier County. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance abuse, know that there is hope. Visit our Get Help page for more information.
