Did you know our Ministry and Life Enrichment for Persons with Disabilities Program first began in 1983?

This program promotes spiritual, social, and educational skills for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, blind or visually impaired, and deaf or hard of hearing, and their families.

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the program offered 

• Special Masses, interpreted in American Sign Language (ASL) for individuals who are deaf and hard of hearing, with monthly fellowship; 
• Sacramental Preparation classes; Recreational activities; Daily life skills training; Educational workshops; Special events such as the Fr. Walsh Summer Camp, 
• Special Hearts Prom, picnics, and Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations; and Home and hospital visits.
• Weekly, on average, we serve 80 (not including family and/or caretakers).
• 56 attended the 2020 Special Hearts Prom.
• 154 campers attended the 2020 Fr. Walsh Virtual Summer Camp.

Services provided in English, Spanish, and American Sign Language (ASL). We cannot wait for this pandemic to end so we can resume all of our programing.
