THE NEXT CHAPTER

For 44 years, the National Catholic Partnership on Disability has served as the Catholic Church's national disability resource—equipping parishes, dioceses, and families to help ensure that persons with disabilities can participate fully in the life of the Church.

While NCPD continues this mission, we are entering a new chapter. In December, Executive Director Charleen Katra will retire after seven years of service. Charleen's experience as a former diocesan director strengthened NCPD's impact by developing practical resources she knew would meet the real needs of parishes.

While Charleen's leadership and expertise will be greatly missed, the vision of NCPD endures: that persons with disabilities celebrate sacraments, have access to spiritual formation, and experience Christian friendship in their local parish.

Your gift will help carry this vision forward, expanding the resources and support parishes need to become true places of belonging for all.

CALLED TO COMMUNION

The Church teaches that human beings flourish when in communion with God and one another. Stigma, as well as lack of awareness and resources, create barriers to communion—marginalizing thousands of persons with disabilities and their families.

Ministry leaders rely on NCPD to help anticipate the diverse needs of persons with disabilities, inviting opportunities for meaningful participation in the sacraments, leadership, and belonging.

EXPANDING OUR IMPACT

With your help, more parishes will have access to:

Sacramental preparation that meets diverse needs so that every person has the opportunity to receive the grace of the sacraments.

Accessibility best practices that consider a broad spectrum of physical, developmental, sensory, and emotional needs.

Mental health support models that offer spiritual guidance, solidarity, and hope.

GIVE TODAY

Your gift today can help NCPD advance on 44 years of impact and reach even more parishes. Together, we can help parishes be places where persons with disabilities are fully integrated into the life of the Church, reflecting our true communion in Christ.
