The SJA Special Needs Ministry works to help our parishioners who have special needs and need assistance in order to participate in SJA masses and activities including assistance with religious education for children with special needs and transportation to and from parish Masses/events. We also serve as a liaison for parishioners with special needs who need assistance to become more involved in any of SJA’s ministries. If you or someone you know could benefit from this ministry, or if you would like to volunteer to help further develop this ministry, please let us know by contacting the parish office at (717) 533-7168.
