Network of Inclusive Catholic Educators
THANK YOU ATTENDEES
OF THE 2009 N.I.C.E
Conference!!!
Held October 11th & 12th at the Mercy
Retreat Center, Burlingame, California

The conference was a tremendous success.  Thanks
to the wonderful speakers, and all the break-out
leaders for helping create a wonderful event.  Look
for another conference next year!  Possibly in
Miami!  Let's keep the momentum building!  Kids
with disabilities deserve the gift that is a Catholic
education.  It is happening across the country!
Our Mission:  To welcome and fully include
students with disabilities into our Catholic
schools and Religious Education programs all
across the nation.
WHY?
  • Inclusion is consistent with the protection of all
    human life and the promotion of human dignity
  • Inclusion is consistent with our Catholic faith
"There can be no separate church for people with
disabilities.  We are one flock that serves a single
shepherd."    -- Paragraph 32, US Catholic Bishops'
Pastoral Letter on People with Disabilities
