years ago, we
created spaces for
people in
wheelchairs within
the worship space.
Also, when we last
renovated our social
hall, we widened the
doorways in both
bathrooms, installed
countertops/sinks

ADA compliant and
we added grab bars
around the toilets in
each bathroom (both

As we make
improvements to our
school, we do keep
these things in mind,

the building (circa
1913), it has been a
difficult undertaking.

We have an elevator,
dedicated accessable
parking lot, automatic
door & a crying room.
Many disAbled
persons of all ages
and descriptions have
worshiped at St.
John's.
It has depended on
the efforts of the
person, and/or their
helpers, to figure out
the most convenient
way to approach the
building and their
needs.
St. John's recently put
in ramps to get to the
toilets. There are
accessable doors on
the toilets and
adequate facilities in
the toilets. There are
accessable doors on
the parking lot
side, and a ramp for
those with disabilities
that leads from
accessable parking
spots. The pews in
the front and center
(down a slight incline)
are cut away for
wheel chairs and
walkers.
Those who wish to
receive communion
are close to the
Eucharistic Ministers.
They can receive in
the pew if they ask
the ushers in advance
of the service, so the
Eucharistic Ministers
can be informed. We
have always had a

door off Interlachen

the sidewalk and
leads to the pews in
the church proper.
That door
is accessible. The
confessional is a few
feet from that door.
So is the Baptismal
font.
Religious Education
Our Faith Formation
Director has tutored
people with
disAbilities before and
is very willing to help
parishioners. She is
however employed
part time and has a
facility (our school)
that is not
yet accessible. The
Church was not
designed for group
activities, only
community
gatherings. We are
still short office space,
and meeting space.
So we use the school.
This does not help
those with physical
disAbilities. So
facilities other than St.
John's should
be considered for the
near future.
If we are honest
about "inclusive
education", we will
have to pursue
Classes that last
longer and occur
more often. It is a
struggle to give
enough good
information about our
Faith to those who
come once a week for
one hour for 8
months out of the
year.
The teachers are
currently volunteers,
with out special
training. Space in
classrooms is limited.
That said, we have to
start somewhere!

We do have an
elevator to the
church. Our faith
formation does have
children with special
needs. Our school
does not because it is
three floors with no
elevator yet! We do
not sign Mass, but the
school children know
some sign language.

The church of St.
Peter offers a
special education
religious class
for children and
adults of all ages
who have
learning and
developmental
disAbilities.
Meeting times
are Sundays
9:00-10:15 am
from October
thru April.
(between the
8:00 and 10:30
Masses) We
have been using
Joyce Rupp's
"The Cup of Our
Life." This
guide for
spiritual growth
has greatly
enhanced the
vocal
participation and
spiritual growth
of the students
and will be used
in 2009/2010.
Each week the
Sunday Gospel
is read and
discussed which
aids the students
to understand the
Mass and
Homily. Class
ends with a short
scripture reading
reflection and
prayer. All are
then invited to
say a
spontaneous
prayer.
In closing, a
message from
God is passed
from person to
person. This
message is
intended to carry
the lesson into
each person's
week.
Students that
have not yet
received
Sacraments of
Eucharist and
Reconciliation
are given
additional
preparation.
