Pope Leo XIV has confirmed the place for people with disabilities in the Roman Catholic Church.
Six young men with Down syndrome served at Pope Leo XIV’s Mass at the Place de la Concorde in Paris on September 28.
A letter signed by the six young men asked for the privilege of serving at the Pope’s Mass during his visit to Paris.
Their participation highlighted the important contribution that people with Down syndrome can make to the life of the Church when given the opportunity to serve.
In our hierarchical society, we often disregard people who aren't high on the abilities hierarchy, and believe they can't contribute. Obviously, that assumption is incorrect.
