The Recovered Alcoholic Clergy Association (RACA) is a working fellowship of the clergy of the Episcopal Church.
Any bishop, priest, deacon, member of a religious order, or seminarian who has a desire to stop using mood altering chemicals is eligible for membership. RACA is always willing offer support and counsel to ordained members of other religious traditions who want to discover the miracle of recovery as we have experienced it.
RACA's purpose is three-fold:
- Mutual self-help
- Fellowship
- Pastoral concern for clergy with a drinking problem and their families.

RACA sponsors annual retreats for recovering clergy. We are currently deciding on the date for May of 2010.
Our Fall Retreat will be held in Las Vegas, NV in the Fall of 2010. The date will be set later this year. We meet in a suite for our meetings and there is usually a free steak in the mix somewhere.
Fr. Ed. G. is our maitre d'.
His address is
| 150 E. La Soledad, Green Valley AZ 85614 padregus@oldmutt.com |
Retreats include AA meetings, regular prayer and plenty of time for sightseeing. Come early stay late. October in the desert is fabulous. Air fares to Las Vegas are amongst the cheapest anywhere in the world.
