Fact Check: Sacraments

NCPD has created a series of educational infographics and encourages dioceses and parishes to download and share them.

Having a disability does not mean a person cannot receive sacraments.

Any image shared electronically must have alt text. Suggested alt text for this image is below.

Short description: Having a disability does not mean a person cannot receive sacraments.

Long description: Having a disability does not mean a person cannot receive sacraments. You do not have to speak to receive Eucharist, recite Gifts of the Spirit to receive Confirmation, or speak to seek forgiveness through Reconciliation. Persons with intellectual disabilities can understand the promises made in Matrimony.
