Regional Support Teams:
We are currently building out or regional network of support teams over the 2017-2018 calendar year. If you have any interest in participating on these teams for your area, please let us know at the email address below.
Diocesan Support:
The Center for Marriage, Family, and Life is available to answer any of your questions about ministry to persons with disabilities and connect you with other helpful entities across our diocese. We would be helpful to offer assistance or workshops for your pastor, parish staff, or hospitality team. You can reach us at cmfl@richmonddiocese.org or at 804-622-5159.
