Apostolate for Persons with Disabilities -
Our Mission:
-
The Apostolate works to promote the full inclusion and participation of persons with disabilities and mental health challenges in the life of the Church.
Every baptized person, regardless of their abilities, has received a special vocation to holiness and mission as a disciple of Jesus. We strive to promote mental wellness and the resources that will allow all people to live out their mission in local Catholic parishes, schools, programs, and diocesan events.
