Spirituality is an essential part of the lives of many people, including those with developmental disabilities.
For adults with developmental disabilities who live in our supported independent living apartments or who reside in our community-based houses and wish to connect with a faith community, Mary Centre helps to make this happen.
We work with faith communities throughout the Greater Toronto Area and the Region of Peel. We devise innovative ways to establish connections. For example, some of the people we support serve on the altar in their churches; others attend weekly services or special events. Our employees often assist in providing transportation and support.
We also educate faith communities about people with developmental disabilities and encourage them to welcome them into their spiritual communities.
