Kids with Special Needs

“We are a single flock under the care of a single shepherd. There can be no separate Church for persons with disabilities.” - Pastoral Statement of U.S. Catholic Bishops on Persons with Disabilities

The Archdiocese of Portland provides pastoral support, advocacy, training and resources to enable the full participation of people with disabilities in the life of the faith community. The Marriage & Family Life Office has collaborated with the Office of People with Disabilities on a number of occasions, since both Offices have families at the center of their respective ministries and services.
