Community
building events, offered by parishes around the archdiocese, honor
the gifts of persons with disabilities by further welcoming
them, and their families, into the full life of the Church.
Children of all ages and disabilities,
along
with their siblings, enjoy summer festivals, which also offer
mini-retreats for parents and care providers. “God’s Holy
Family” retreat affords families a fall weekend getaway at
Circle Lake. Picnics and dances are also offered throughout the
year. Financial assistance is available. Attendance at the
Advent Gathering grows annually.
