Talk with your parish religious education leader about your child’s special educational needs. Ask for appropriate options for religious education and sacramental preparation.
“There are different kinds of spiritual gifts but the same Spirit; there are different forms of service but the same Lord; there are different workings but the same God who produces all of them in everyone.”
(1 Corinthians 12:4-6)Holy Innocents Society
The Holy Innocents Society is a Diocesan Society dedicated to the spiritual welfare of “Special Children” of all ages.
Holy Innocents Centers throughout the Trenton Diocese provide children and adults with special needs, intellectual, cognitive and/or developmental disabilities, who are not able to function in a regular Religious Education Program, with religious education geared to their individual learning ability. Dedicated catechists prepare their students for the reception of the Sacraments, and through programs of continuing religious education, prepare them to take an active role in the Church community. In the love of Jesus Christ for His children and in the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the catechists endeavor to foster within each student a positive self-concept, a sense of morality and participation in the Christian community.
