As the Diocesan Mental Health Committee, we stand in solidarity with and raise awareness for those living with mental health issues by offering educational programs, spiritual resources, advocacy resources, and encouraging faith communities to recognize the gifts and talents of all of the people of God.
We pray that all people including those with mental health issues be respected for their inherent dignity as Children of God, feel supported and have a sense of belonging in the greater Catholic Community, especially in the Diocese of Albany.
