Meets in the Classroom. St. Thomas’s provides hospitality to six AA/12 Step Groups. Serenity at Sunrise is an apt name for this group as they meet at the beginning of the day, 6:30 a.m. to be exact.

There are no age or education requirements. Membership is open to anyone who wants to do something about his or her drinking problem.
