Sr. Joan Daniel visited the Department for Persons with Disabilities (DPD) in September. DPD is the Diocesan Catholic Charities organization that serves people with developmental disabilities.
The pictures below were taken at Gruenert Center, located on Route 15. Fifty people attend the center every day for work experiences/educational and vocational training.
