"Make me a channel of your peace"

Circle of Friends Summer Retreat

Great to know!

A Friends of Indiana Dunes Board Member, Michelle, recently took her 80-year-old mother, Barbara, to the Indiana Dunes State Park beach. Michelle says her mom has difficulty walking but was able to easily traverse the sand on the newly installed beach mats. Barbara said, “this is the best day I have had in a long time”.

The Friends of Indiana Dunes were pleased to have provided a significant amount of the funding for this incredibly important accessibility project. The Friends are dedicated to making the Indiana Dunes accessible to all. If you would like to help us purchase more of these accessible beach mats go to www.dunefriends.org.

Chronister stated:
“Providing access to preparation for and reception of the sacraments for persons with disabilities is not just some service we provide for them. When persons with disabilities receive the sacraments … their encounter with God strengthens and builds up the Church. We need them.
But also, God longs deeply for them and deeper union with them, as he does with all of us. And he desires sanctity for those with disabilities, just as he does for those without disabilities. He wants to make us saints.”
