Just two days ago, the USCCB voted on revised\u00a0Guidelines for the Celebration of the Sacraments with Persons with Disabilities <\/em>at their semi-annual meeting. The Guidelines<\/em> passed by an overwhelming majority \u00a0(180 in favor, 1 against, and 0 abstaining), ratifying a much needed update to a rather brief\u00a0document<\/a> that was last updated in 1995.<\/p>\n

According to the USCCB’s news\u00a0release<\/a>, “These new Guidelines <\/em>take into account medical and technological innovations of recent years, and emphasize the importance of the inclusion of all members of parishes.”<\/p>\n

The National Catholic Partnership on Disability (NCPD) press release<\/a> explains in some detail what some of the updates include:<\/p>\n

In addition to stating general principles to be followed for the celebration of the sacraments in this revised document, the Bishops address each specific sacrament and the issues pertinent to that sacrament for persons with various disabilities.\u00a0 For example, with respect to the administration of Holy Communion, the Guidelines<\/em> provide specific guidance where an individual uses a feeding tube, is gluten intolerant, or is in the advanced stages of Alzheimer\u2019s or other age-related dementias.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There’s no indication as to when the\u00a0Guidelines\u00a0<\/em>will be released, but it’s certainly one to keep an eye out for!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
