Churches have 'uniquenesses' that are all their own. We've come to understand what some of these are for us and we call them our 'provocative distinctives' . They are the characteristics, teachings and beliefs that make the Riverwood faith-family what it is. These are the statements that describe something of the ethosand culture of Riverwood.They are 'provocative' in that they will either spark your interest and fire your passion... or they will simply drive you a bit crazy. They will either be the heart-pounding belief you share with us, stoking your own faith... or they will be the very dynamics that help you realize Riverwood isn't the best fit for you. Regardless of what you think of them... they are who we are and who we will continue to become.
Six citizens, concerned about community re-entry needs of the recovering alcoholic, formed Alcohol Recovery Inc (A.R.I.) in 1977. Until that time, a program did not exist in the Winnipeg community tailored to meet the long-term implications of addiction recovery.Consequently, the Board of Directors of the newly formed A.R.I. designed a 'living program' for recovering alcoholics that would plug the holes in existing projects, and give suffering individuals a better chance of successful long-term recovery. Funding and support was sought from institutions and individuals to get the A.R.I. homes under way.Thanks to the diligence of the initial Board, the necessary financial resources were obtained and A.R.I. began operations in slightly over a year. In November 1978, A.R.I. officially opened a men's residence, and in May 1980, a women's residence was added.In the late 1990s, Ester House, a recovery home specifically for women but independent from A.R.I., was established in Winnipeg.

This is Micah House, home of the office of Hospitality House Refugee Ministry at 1039 Main Street in Winnipeg. Micah House is the Catholic Centre for Social Justice.
