Bishop Robert Brennan will celebrate a diocesan Mass of Inclusion at 5 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 6 in Columbus St. Catharine Church, 500 S. Gould Road.
Open to all in the diocese and sponsored by SPICE (Special People in Catholic Education), the Mass will celebrate the unique gifts of those with physical and mental disabilities, as well as their caretakers.

A reception will follow.

To encourage an inclusive, welcoming environment, there will be sign language interpretation, wheelchair accessibility and low-gluten hosts.

Additionally, it is hoped that lay ministry roles within the Mass can be filled by individuals with special needs. If such individuals are serving your parish as an altar server, lector, Eucharistic minister, or cantor, contact Mary Ginn Ryan at (614) 354-6945 or Cathryn O’Connell at St. Catharine at (614) 231-4509.

St. Catharine Church is fully accessible, with an elevator in the northeast corner of the church. There will be low-gluten hosts and a sign language interpreter. Ushers will be available to assist.
