Seeds Ministry
Sacrament Prep for Students & Adults with Special Needs
“With Grayson’s struggles with speech, we weren’t sure how he could successfully prepare for his Holy Communion and Reconciliation. With Janet’s instruction and faith in his abilities, we were able to make this possible with our parish priest. What a gift it has been for Grayson and our family.” - Lisa Daub, Mother
Blossoming from the Seeds of Faith
Seeds Ministry provides support and catechesis for students and adults with special needs who have not yet received the Catholic sacraments. The Seeds of Faith have been planted and nurtured by their caregivers but may need extra help to blossom in full communion within their parish communities. Seeds Ministry aims to meet the needs of these special individuals by partnering with parish staff to bring their sacraments to completion.
