The Parents of Children with Special Needs Support Group works to bring together parents and grandparents who have a common need.

Parents are often shocked and saddened when they first discover the diagnosis of their special child.  In time, with prayer and the support of others, we come to see the hand of God and His infinite Wisdom.  

Not only does God hand-pick our children for us, He sends them to the perfect parents, especially when that child needs extra love and care.

Parenting a special child becomes our path to holiness.  Doors are opened, and amazingly kind and caring people come into our lives that we never would have met through the rearing of typical children. 

Come share your joy, your sorrows, your laughs -- your special child -- with others who, like you, have learned to love unconditionally.

Please check out the Archdiocesan Office of Persons with Disabilities website for a wealth of information.  We will be referring to this website throughout the year:

Accepting the Gift is a beautiful website that supports parents and loved ones of special needs children. We will also use this website as a resource:
