The Apostolate for Persons with Disabilities serves to promote the full inclusion and participation of individuals with disabilities and mental health challenges in every aspect of the Church’s life. Every baptized person — regardless of ability — is called to holiness and mission as a disciple of Jesus Christ. Our goal is to help ensure that all people are welcomed, supported, and empowered to live out that calling in their parishes, schools, and communities.
The Apostolate offers spiritual, social, and pastoral resources to individuals, families, and parish leaders. This includes televised Sunday Masses, adapted catechetical materials, mental health resources, retreats, sacramental support, parish trainings, and opportunities for community connection and healing—such as our suicide loss support group and annual Masses honoring St. Dymphna and St. Margaret of Castello.
