OUR VISION
Our Vison is based on the love of the Heart of Christ as expressed in the Gospels, is to help build s society where people can live to their full potential and alcohol can be enjoyed in moderation, thereby avoiding the many unwanted issues caused by problem drinking. We freely chose to abstain form alcohol as a gesture of love in return for God’s love us and our concern for those struggling with alcohol addition. In their devotion to the Sacred Heart, Pioneers strive to love unconditionally as God does, they aspire to accept challenges that come their way and they endeavour to reduce their own egotistic needs so that they can enter into communion with the Heart of Christ.
