What makes a parish ‘accessible’?

May 6, 2022 | Source: The Pillar

One of the most important missions of the local parish is modeling the family love which the baptized are called to share, reflecting God’s love for each one of his children. As part of that mission, parishes often have conversations about “accessibility” and “inclusivity” for Catholics with disabilities. But what does it mean to be an accessible and welcoming parish for persons with disabilities? Is it even right to think in terms of “welcoming” people who, by every right, should consider the parish their home in the first place?…

Purging closets bursting with hideous ties reminded me of how difficult it is to “gift” a father with something of value on Father’s Day. I had a very close relationship with my father and both grandfathers, who supported and protected me always. Fatherly and grandfatherly support is a profound gift for any daughter or granddaughter. I am eternally grateful for these mentors and wish their loving influence had persisted longer. All my fathers had excellent longevity.
