In every parish, a sense of community means that every individual feels they belong, that they are valued, and that, together, we share a faith committed to meeting each other’s needs. Personal Advocacy Service works with parishes across the Catholic Archdiocese of Perth to create communities that are welcoming, inclusive, and accessible for people with intellectual disabilities and their families.
By supporting inclusive practices, every parish has the opportunity to enrich its community and embrace all its members. We do this through training Parish Inclusivity Coordinators, providing inclusive resources, and offering Adapted Liturgies for all abilities.

Adapted Liturgies at Morley and other Parishes
Once a month, our Morley Parish hosts an Inclusive Liturgy—a special Sunday Mass that welcomes people of all abilities, followed by a time of fellowship and morning tea. Click on the link below for adapted liturgies at other parishes.

all thrive.
