Special Needs Religious Education - All Belong!
St. Lawrence Parish offers religious education for all learners.
Children of all abilities are welcome! Feel free to contact our Director, Lisa Rajnicek, to meet and discuss your child’s abilities so we can best meet your needs. We are blessed with caring, experienced catechists who can provide small group or individual instruction.
We need more catechists for our Special Needs learners.
Do you have a few hours a week to learn more about this rewarding ministry?
Start your journey with a short online course from the Archdiocese of Detroit - All Belong: Inclusion in Ministry. This video course aims to inspire the church community across the AOD to embrace and empower persons with disabilities to realize their full potential to know, love and serve the Lord, as well as achieve full membership and belonging in our faith community.

Adaptive Finding God can be used in conjunction with the Finding God grade-level books or as a stand-alone program for parishes, schools, and at home.

Adaptive Finding God takes these learning situations into account and provides a customizable program, with flexible options for settings, ranging from one-on-one to group catechesis. Adaptive Finding God responds to individual needs with lessons that follow and spring from the strong foundation of Finding God.
Lesson Cards are organized by the core Finding God unit themes and are ideal for one-on-one catechesis. Additional supplemental Lesson Cards are available for sacramental preparation.
