The Support Group’s specific goal is to provide families of children and adults with special needs a strong faith-filled support program and to help them feel accepted in the parish and community. Various activities are scheduled each month such as an evening of prayer, bowling, swimming, summer picnic, hayride and holiday parties. Caring volunteers skilled in arts and crafts are needed.
