In Pope Francis’ recent Message on the occasion of the International Day dedicated to the disabled persons, the Holy Father affirms that “Baptism makes each one of us a full-fledged member of the Church community, so that all of us, without exclusion or discrimination, can say: “I am Church!” The Church is truly your home!” For this reason, the Church’s magisterium is very clear that “no one can deny the sacraments to persons with disabilities” (Directory for Catechesis, no. 272).
Please be sure to register for sacramental preparation at your parish.
