Friends for Life
Known by name.
When young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities age out of youth programs, community can become harder to find. Friends for Life was created to fill that gap.
Who it is for
Adults 22 and older with intellectual or developmental disabilities, along with the families and caregivers who walk alongside them.
What happens
Faith sharing and prayer, dinner or light refreshments, music, games, service, and time to build lasting friendships.
For families
Families and caregivers also find a community of mutual support. This is a parish-based community where each person is celebrated for who they are.
Tell us about the person you are registering.
The interest form is the place to begin, for young adults and for their families. If you would prefer to talk first, please call Deacon John.
Would you like to help?
Parishioners and community members ages 20 and older help create a joyful, welcoming gathering. Volunteer for Friends for Life
