St. Joseph Inclusive Ministry

The purpose of St. Joseph Ministry is to include young people with disabilities (ages 18-28) who have completed their sacraments of Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation so they can continue their growth in faith through the Word of God, the Mass, and meaningful participation in parish life;  the meetings will be held on the first and third Saturdays of the month from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm in Room 152.

A Prayer to St. Joseph of Cupertino

**O St. Joseph of Cupertino, patron of the disabled and of those with learning difficulties,
who, despite your own challenges, lived a life of holiness and joy,
intercede for us now and always.**

**Grant that all who suffer from disability, sensory challenges, or developmental differences
may be seen, heard, and valued by God and by others.
Help us to love them with patience, kindness, and understanding,
to meet them where they are, and to walk beside them in faith.**

**May your example inspire us to see beyond differences,
to recognize the gifts each person brings to the Church and the world.
Help us to pray for their healing, their dignity, and their full participation in God’s love.**

St. Joseph, pray for us. Amen
