The Special Needs Inclusion Ministry is an outreach ministry to ensure that families and individuals with special needs experience welcome, support, and spiritual nourishment within a faith community. The Planning team meets once a month via ZOOM (fourth Thursdays) to discuss needs and opportunities to improve inclusion of those with special needs and their families in parish programs and events.

When accommodation is possible, individuals with developmental delays are encouraged to participate in our other Faith Formation programs. In situations when that is not practical, Special Religious Education (SPRED) enables them to prepare for sacraments and enjoy spiritual enrichment in a specialized small-group setting.
