A welcoming, comfortable, and supportive liturgy for individuals of all abilities and their families
At Saint Helen, we are committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive community where individuals of all abilities and their families can fully participate in the life of the Church. Our Inclusive Masses are designed to provide a welcoming, comfortable, and supportive environment for individuals with disabilities and their families.
All are welcome!
Our Inclusive Mass is thoughtfully designed with accessibility in mind, offering a peaceful environment where everyone can fully participate in worship.
Softer volume, slower tempo, and calming hymns create a peaceful atmosphere throughout the liturgy.
Follow along guides with pictures and simple text help everyone participate meaningfully.
A dedicated space to step away when needed while still participating in the Mass via livestream.
Fidgets, noise-reducing headphones, and visual schedules available for those who benefit from them.
Friendly volunteers ready to assist with seating, navigation, and participation throughout Mass.
Join us for refreshments and fellowship in a relaxed setting following the liturgy.
This Mass is especially designed for families and individuals who benefit from a calmer, sensory-friendly worship experience.
"Come as you are—every person's presence is a gift to our parish family."
All Masses begin at 2:00 PM at Saint Helen Church. Mark your calendar and join us.
This summer, we are excited to share that automatic doors will be added to the front doors of the church and the doors leading into Burke Hall to help make our parish even more accessible and welcoming for all.
