Trinka Hamel on Catechesis for Persons with Disabilities

At the Institute for Ministry Formation Catechetics Conference 2022, Trinka Hamel addressed the 2020 Directory for Catechesis on Catechesis for Persons with Disabilities. 

Trinka Hamel is a long-time catechist who considers children and families to be among her greatest teachers.  She has collaborated with communities to develop Catechesis of the Good Shepherd programs and helps lead formation courses in the Pacific Northwest.  For many years Trinka learned about removing barriers for children of various abilities to flourish in the school setting as a speech pathologist.  She is deeply grateful for the many ways parish communities learn to welcome all children into catechetical experiences, where their lives of faith are both nourished and received as gifts within the Body of Christ.
