Practical guidance for helping parishes foster the full participation of persons with disabilities.

In Together as One Body, Ana B. Barraza focuses on different aspects of parish life and the inclusion of persons with disabilities, providing practical guidance for parishes to be not only fully accessible but also to foster the full participation of every person.

Together as One Body outlines ways to promote transformation and spiritual growth for all, provides tips to improve the accessibility of the liturgy and the sacraments, and offers suggestions for new ways to encourage a community of love and belonging that is attentive to the gifts and needs of every parishioner. Drawing upon church documents, additional sources, and the rich pastoral experience of the author Together as One Body is an ideal resource for both parish planning and personal reflection on what it means to be One Body in Christ.
