St. James Catholic Church

We have begun to invite families in the parish of St James who have children with special needs to form a prayer and support group under the n and patronage of Blessed Carlos Gnocchi. The aim of the “Blessed Carlos Gnocchi” group is to make sure the families and children are welcomed to our parish community. One of the great needs expressed in our first meeting was catechetical formation for the children. These children suffer from autism; cerebral palsy; Down syndrome; and many other physical and mental disabilities. Regardless of their disabilities; we would like to prepare them to receive the sacraments and drink of the graces of Christ.
