Bring Accepting the Gift to Your Diocese
Our founder, Kelly Mantoan has spoken to parish and religious education staff about how they can work with special needs parents to create a more welcoming and inclusive parish that benefits not only disabled Catholics and their families but the parish as a whole. Kelly has also brought her story of hope to other special needs parents who may be struggling in their vocation. Let her bring her moving story and hard won experience to your diocese!
