We meet with NCPD Affiliates on the third Wednesday of the month to address various disability-related needs of dioceses.

How to Plan a Retreat for Parents of Children with Disabilities

Learn how to plan retreats for parents of children with disabilities. Presented by Maggie Rousseau, Director of the Disabilities Ministry for the Archdiocese of Atlanta.

Maggie and her husband Scott have three children. Their son Christopher was born with Mucolipidosis II, a very rare, terminal genetic disorder which caused both physical and developmental disabilities. Below is a picture of Christopher at Braves Stadium.
