In respecting life in all its forms, we focus our attention on people with physical impairments, mental illness, developmental or learning disabilities, and chronic illness. This is a life issue that deserves our attention, our support, and our prayers. The Catholic bishops have called us to reexamine our attitudes toward the disabled in our society in order to promote their well-being. We encourage all parishioners as members of the Body of Christ to make a special efforts to reach out with compassion to those who are disabled.

Are you willing to open your heart and bring joy into someone's life?
