About
An initiative founded by Teresa Pitt Green and Luis A. Torres, Jr., as two survivors of Catholic clergy abuse seeking to integrate the wisdom of their recovery journeys into healing for the whole Church, through facilitated programs and dialogue among all people hurt by abuse in settings of faith
A Relational Approach
Spirit Fire believes in relational healing and recovery, and offers friendship person-to-person, heart-to-heart, walking through the impact from abuse in our Church with survivors, family members, parishes, clergy and religious, lay ministries, and leaders. Our basic guidelines are provided below, including a clear nonalignment policy to avoid divisions about other issues impeding reconciliation where the hurt cuts deepest in our Church.
