In an effort to embrace and welcome the members of our Church with intellectual and developmental disabilities and those suffering from cognitive conditions such as dementia, the Diocese of Grand Rapids’ Office of Faith Formation has been hosting a sensory-friendly Mass since Easter 2022, offered on the first Sunday of each month at St. John Paul II Church in Cedar Springs. This Mass includes lower lights, softer music, and no incense. Please join us!
