Answering the call…

to gather as a community in prayer and fellowship

VITALity is Inclusion and Welcome

The goal of this ministry is to create an environment of acceptance and inclusion in parish communities for all those with special needs and their families.  Through Masses of Welcome and Inclusion, respect for the individual and appreciation for their unique gifts and talents is encouraged so they can participate fully in the faith life of the Church.  VITALity supports parishes in offering adaptive catechesis so that all those seeking to receive the Sacraments can be accommodated and welcomed into the family of the Church.  This ministry also works to advocate for and acquire the appropriate services and resources families need to support their loved ones with disabilities to live as independently as possible when they age out of the educational system into early adulthood.  The work of VITALity also provides opportunities to socialize and gather, allowing for further interaction, acceptance and respect of all members within our Church community.
