Lisa Arechavaleta is our Parish Disability Advocate, acting on behalf of persons with disabilities to ensure that all are invited to share in the life of the parish. The advocate serves as liaison between persons with disabilities and their parish and between the parish and the Diocese Office of Disability Ministry.
Lisa is available to help support families of the SSJP community. Her short term goals are to connect families to resources and services in our Diocese and to start a committee at Ss. John and Paul to address the needs of individuals with disabilities, so they can actively participate in the life of the parish.
She welcomes hearing from parishioners with disabilities, or their families, on what the parish can do to be more welcoming to persons with disabilities. If you have questions, need support, or want to become involved in this new ministry please reach out to Lisa.
