Description

A website to help cultivate a welcoming church environment for individuals with disabilities.

Everyone knows the Golden Rule - the idea to treat others as you would like to be treated. Who exemplified this better than Jesus Christ Himself? He invited sinners, tax collectors, and people with disabilities to his table. The Golden Rule Project hopes to reignite the welcoming environment of the church so that all are treated with love and respect and every person feels a part of the Church.

Notes

The goal of The Golden Rule Project is a simple one: to encourage Catholic parishes to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for all people, especially individuals with disabilities.

Here you will find helpful videos, quick tips, pamphlets to help educate your parish on ways to be more welcoming and inclusive.
