Disability Advocacy Ministry (Special Needs)

In their “1978 Pastoral Statement on Persons with Disabilities,” the United States Catholic Bishops state that “catechesis for individuals with disabilities should be integrated with the normal catechetical programs of the parish.” Therefore, children who have disabilities are encouraged to participate as much as possible in the regular classroom setting, the liturgical setting and social settings.

Presently, our Disability Advocacy Ministry is in need of members. If you are interested in participating, please call the Parish Office.
