As members of the Body of Christ, we have a responsibility to include all Christians fully into the life of our Church, and to be compassionate toward their needs at every stage of life. Use the resources below to learn more and make a difference at your Parish!
“We do not have to reinvent the wheel. We simply have to exercise humility and charity, along with genuine willingness to be more open to learning from and being guided by others, especially from people who experience or encounter such challenges on a daily basis.” —Fr. John Chryssavgis
“When we treat people as if they are less than human because they don’t have typical abilities, we deny the Christ within them and we deny Christ within ourselves. It diminishes each of us…it diminishes our humanity.” —Presvytera Melanie DiStefano
