The Office for Social Concerns works with parish advocates for persons with disabilities and advocates for the inclusion of persons with disabilities in the life of the Church and in society.
“All persons with disabilities have gifts to contribute to the whole Church. When persons with disabilities are embraced and welcomed and invited to participate fully in all aspects of the parish community life, the Body of Christ is more complete.”
