Speaking with parents of special needs kids Thursday 4/24
I will be speaking to a small group of parents at St. Andrew the Apostle Catholic Church in Clifton, Virginia
This is a new group started by Catholic parents of children with special needs. Betty wrote me last week:
We have a name for the group, now: Caritas Christi (Love of Christ in Latin). I love the name because it expresses that the special needs child is a gift of God's love to each family, and also that the child's own love expresses the love of God within the family, and that by living out the vocation of raising a child with special needs the parents themselves will grow in the love of Christ through grace! We have now had 2 meetings, and although the turnout hasn't been large, the meetings have been beautiful, grace-filled & encouraging. We have been spreading the word about your coming, and are hoping for a good turnout and are very encouraged by the interest your coming has generated!
Any parents of children with special needs are invited to attend. Please email me if you are coming so I can look forward to seeing you.
Love,
