Principle no. 9 of Welcome and Justice for Persons with Disabilities-A Framework of Access and Inclusion - A Statement of the United States Catholic Bishops states the following:
“Often families are not prepared for the birth of a child with a
disability or the development of impairments. Our pastoral
response is to become informed about disabilities and to offer
ongoing support to the family and welcome to the child”.
Assisted by this same principle, the Ministry for Catholics with disAbilities derives three main guiding key words for our mission in serving Catholics with disAbilities: information, support, and welcome. These, in return, have given us a strong base for our general goals and objectives:
1. We will strive to create ways to inform ourselves and those we serve on persons with disAbilities by using social media, and training opportunities.
2. We will support parents/caregivers of persons with disAbilities by creating online resources of available and existing services.
3. We will identify opportunities to welcome persons with disAbilities to the Body of Christ through awareness and advocacy.
May our service to our Catholic Church be ever guided by the Holy Spirit.

A few years ago, the National Catholic Office for the Deaf (ncod.org/), produced a video series for those preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation, Strengthened in Faith: Confirmation, which included the stories of the saints told by Deaf performers, voiced and captioned so all can learn from these stories. These stories are wonderful ways for adults and young people to learn and be inspired by the lives of the saints. We are making them available now on line during this time of “at home” learning and working.
