Adaptive Sacramental Prep

The Catholic Church continues to affirm the dignity of every human being, and to grow in knowledge and understanding of the gifts and needs of her members who live with disabilities. Likewise, the Church recognizes that every parish community includes members with disabilities, and earnestly desires their active participation. All members of the Body of Christ are uniquely called by God by virtue of their Baptism. Considering this call, the Church seeks to support all in their growth in holiness, and to encourage all in their vocations. Participating in, and being nourished by, the grace of the sacraments is essential to this growth in holiness. Catholic adults and children with disabilities, and their families, earnestly desire full and meaningful participation in the sacramental life of the Church.

Here at St. Francis, we offer an Adaptive Sacramental preparation program for
our faith community members with special needs. 

We strive to ensure that everyone receives an appropriate level of formation. We work alongside our families in preparing our Adaptive learning for their sacraments. We are hosting classes twice a month in our office conference room, on Sunday mornings from 9:15 AM to 10:15 AM.  These classes are to follow our regular formation year, but at a bi-weekly schedule.  Our program currently is offering adaptive preparation for First Reconciliation, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation.
