Catholic Diocese of Baton Rouge

𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 "𝐲𝐞𝐬."
What began with a simple yes has grown into a ministry serving families across our diocese - and none of it has happened alone.

We're incredibly grateful to the Catholic Diocese of Baton Rouge, our pastors, and parish communities for opening their churches and facilities to us. Their support has given us a place to gather, worship, and belong.

We're equally thankful for every volunteer who has shared their time, talents, and heart. You are the hands and feet of this ministry.

As we dream bigger, the needs grow too. More events mean trained volunteers, meals, supplies, sensory supports, faith formation materials, and resources to serve families well.

That's why our gala matters.

Your generosity doesn't just support what we're doing - it makes 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 possible.

Thank you for believing in this mission and helping us continue saying 𝐲𝐞𝐬 to every family God sends our way. 💚

"𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐠𝐨 𝐭𝐨 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐬?"

It's a question we hear often.

The truth is... that's the goal.

We want every individual and every family to feel welcomed at every Catholic Mass.

But for many families navigating autism, intellectual disabilities, sensory processing challenges, anxiety, or other exceptional needs, simply walking through the church doors can feel overwhelming.

A Sensory Friendly Mass provides a gentle starting place.

✨ Lower volume and minimal music
✨ Shorter, more literal homily
✨ A more understanding environment
✨ Freedom to move if needed
✨ No judgment over sounds, stimming, or unexpected moments
✨ Fellowship with families who truly understand

It's a place where parents can exhale.

Where siblings don't feel embarrassed.

Where individuals with exceptional needs can encounter Jesus without the fear of being a distraction.

Our hope isn't to create a separate Church.

Our hope is to help families build confidence, experience belonging, and fall in love with the Eucharist so that participating in parish life becomes possible - not intimidating.

Every family deserves the chance to encounter Christ.

Sometimes, all they need is a bridge.

And that's exactly what a Sensory Friendly Mass is.

Small tools. Big impact.

These sensory bags help individuals with special and exceptional needs participate more comfortably in the Mass and feel at home in God’s house.

This is the kind of impact your support of 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐔𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐆𝐚𝐥𝐚 makes possible.

💙 Because every soul deserves to be seen, valued, and welcome.

For years, All Are Welcome Ministry has worked to ensure that individuals with disabilities and their families are seen, welcomed, valued, and fully included in the life of the Catholic Church.

The Unseen Gala will be an evening of faith, hope, and belonging - bringing together community leaders, business owners, parishioners, advocates, and supporters who believe every person has God-given dignity and gifts to share.

As we prepare for this special event, we are inviting others to join the mission.

We are currently seeking:
✨ Corporate Sponsors
✨ Business Partners
✨ Silent Auction Donations
✨ Community Advocates
✨ Mission Partners

Do you know a business owner, community leader, physician, attorney, financial advisor, employer, or someone with a heart for this mission?

We would be grateful for an introduction.

Because some of the most meaningful opportunities begin with a simple connection.

Together, we can create more opportunities for faith, friendship, support, and belonging for individuals with disabilities and their families throughout our community.
