The Nazareth House Program offers religious education, pastoral care and liturgical celebrations with children and adults having intellectual and developmental disabilities, residing in the cities of Birmingham and Huntsville. Resource staff and materials make it possible for this same population, residing in outlying areas of the diocese, to receive religious instruction, sacramental preparation and pastoral care. 

If you know of an individual or family who would like to receive pastoral support and advocacy from our staff or a volunteer, please contact us.
