The very beginning of the "Guidelines for the Celebration of the Sacraments with Persons with Disabilities" states:
The Church continues to affirm the dignity of every human being, and to grow in knowledge and understanding of the gifts and needs of her members who live with disabilities. Likewise, the Church recognizes that every parish community includes members with disabilities, and earnestly desires their active participation. All members of the Body of Christ are uniquely called by God by virtue of their Baptism. In light of this call, the Church seeks to support all in their growth in holiness, and to encourage all in their vocations. Participating in, and being nourished by, the grace of the sacraments is essential to this growth in holiness. Catholic adults and children with disabilities, and their families, earnestly desire full and meaningful participation in the sacramental life of the Church.At St. Ignatius, we will work with your family to help prepare adult parishioners with disabilities to receive the sacraments so they too can participate fully in the sacrament life of the Church.
