Sensory-Friendly Mass of Inclusion

Sacred Heart, Glyndon will be hosting a Sensory-Friendly Mass of Inclusion with snacks and fellowship to follow in the West Room. Father Jerry will be presiding, and all are welcome to attend! A special invitation is extended to any person with sensory sensitivity, Autism Spectrum Disorder, or other disabilities that may make attending Mass a challenge. This more accessible Mass will include quiet music (no organ), dimmer lighting, a shorter Homily, ASL interpretation, and pictorial resources for those with special needs (as well as the presence of additional volunteers to assist those visiting the parish navigate the campus). Every effort will be made to accommodate all in attendance, and all behaviors are welcome! Families are encouraged to bring materials that can assist with comfort during the liturgy: noise-canceling headphones, wiggle seats, weighted blankets, fidgets, etc. A quiet room will also be available for those that need a break.
