Persons with Disabilities Ministry
Parish advocates are trained by the Diocese Department under the Secretariat for Catholic Education.
The program's focus is on outreach to people who have one or any combination of the following disabilities:
Cognitive,
Hearing Loss/Deafness, Physical, Vision Loss/Blindness. The Goal of the program is
that Persons with disabilities may have FULL PARTICIPATION IN THE LIFE OF THE CHURCH,
or INCLUSION for all parishioners in the life of the Mass and the Church, (liturgical, educational and social).
We will strive to provide training, information and support services on a continuing basis.
