About
Amazing Grace is a vital part of our Family Faith Formation program at Sts. Simon & Jude, created especially for individuals with adaptive or special needs. We believe that everyone, regardless of ability, deserves to encounter Christ, receive the Sacraments, and be fully included in the life of the Church.
Through personalized spiritual formation, gentle catechesis, and family-based support, Amazing Grace walks with families to help their children grow in faith at their own pace. Whether preparing for First Communion, learning about the Mass, or simply growing closer to Jesus, each participant is met with compassion, dignity, and joy.
A cornerstone of this ministry is our bi-monthly Amazing Grace Mass, held during the school year. These liturgies are designed to be:
Sensory-friendly
Inclusive and welcoming
Community-centered
They offer a sacred space where every person—regardless of ability—can participate, celebrate, and belong.
At SSJ, we celebrate the grace that meets us where we are, adapts to our needs, and invites us into deeper communion with Christ and one another.
