7911 Detroit AvenueDisability Services & Ministries honors the dignity of each person by working with people who have intellectual and developmental disabilities, who are deaf or hard of hearing, blind or visually impaired, or have mental illness. The social, educational and spiritual needs of each individual are addressed by our many programs and services.
Since the late 1800s the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland has offered ministries to persons with disabilities.
In 1966, Catholic Charities Disability Services & Ministries formally joined together to offer opportunities and resources to participate fully in Church and community.
We provide a variety of community-based services and parish-based ministries for persons of all ages and abilities. Programs are educational, social, and recreational, as well as spiritual, sacramental, and catechetical. Special events are also celebrated throughout the year, such as the Journey to Bethlehem Mass in December.
Many other services for persons with disabilities are offered through partnerships with local agencies and organizations, including residential living facilities for children and adults, respite care and day activity centers. These partnerships help us continue our mission of providing help and creating hope for those we serve.
Due to forecasted air quality conditions and concern for the health and safety of our guests, we have rescheduled the Disability Services & Ministries 60th Anniversary Gathering.
