Accessibility involves far more than physical alterations to parish buildings. To exclude members of the parish from these celebrations of the life of the Church, even by passive omission, is to deny the reality of that community.

It is essential that all forms of the liturgy be completely accessible to persons with disabilities, since these forms are the essence of the spiritual tie that binds the Christian community together. In this regard, as it issues a revised and expanded Guidelines for the Celebration of the Sacraments with Persons with Disabilities, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops wishes to reiterate what was said in previous pastoral statements on this issue: Catholic adults and children with disabilities, and their families, earnestly desire full and meaningful participation in the sacramental life of the Church. Participating in, and being nourished by, the grace of the sacraments is essential to this growth in holiness. In light of this call, the Church seeks to support all in their growth in holiness, and to encourage all in their vocations. All members of the Body of Christ are uniquely called by God by virtue of their Baptism. Likewise, the Church recognizes that every parish community includes members with disabilities, and earnestly desires their active participation. The Church continues to affirm the dignity of every human being, and to grow in knowledge and understanding of the gifts and needs of her members who live with disabilities. Revised Edition - Approved by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops on June 15, 2017.
