Parish Leaders
Webinars are for clergy, staff, catechists, liturgical ministers, and other parish leaders. Topics are meant to be enrichments to the core trainings, but most can be attended by anyone, regardless of training.

Individuals & Parents
Webinars for individuals with diagnoses, parents of children with diagnoses, or other loved ones will focus on best practices and strategies for faith growth as well as advocacy and how to work with parish leaders to begin or continue the process of disability integration at parishes.

Parish integration of disability communities (Ecclesial Integration) is a process, which means it's dynamic and flexible. With the right strategic planning and supports in place, parishes can navigate a path to high levels of integration.

We work with a parish team compromised of the pastor, other clergy, staff, advisory council leadership, and other key parish leaders to help develop a strategic plan specific to each parish.

Parish integration isn't a program, it's dynamic process. So, we will work with your parish through not only the development and launch of your strategic plan, but also offer periodic consultation, particularly as new challenges arise, when you approach and pass new benchmarks, or if the integration process becomes stagnate.

In development...

We will be offering retreats for individuals and families with various diagnoses in addition to days of reflection.

Uniquely Catholic can come to your parish or local retreat center to provide all of the content and speaking. We'll even work with you and provide guidance on the logistics for the events.

On the resources page you will find any number of e-books, reflections, information cards that can be personalized and many more resources to come.

Some resources are designed for individuals with diagnoses, others for families with a loved one with a disability, and any of the resources can be utilized by parishes for their parishioners with disabilities.

All of these resources are designed to either directly enrich the faith lives of individuals with disabilities and their loved ones or to aid in promoting and embarking on the process of parish integration.

One of the resources we are most excited about is a Podcast we are working on in collaboration with Ginny Kochis, from Not So Formulaic, to be released within the first couple months of 2018. This podcast will bring together church leaders and the various disability communities. Stayed tuned!

In addition to fostering a community of support through our website, training, outreach, monthly e-newsletter, Facebook page, and Instagram account, we also launched a Facebook Group for individuals and loved ones from the various disability and neurodivergent communities.

The new group is called Uniquely Faithful: Disability, Growing in Faith and Community.

We'd love for you to join us as we build up a community that nourishes faith journeys and encourages and supports individuals and loved ones in advocating for their integration at church.
