<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Peter</strong> First Tuesday Pro-Life Speaker Series<br />
October 9, 2011<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Peter</strong> Pro-Life Speaker Series<br />
“Special Needs, Special Gifts”<br />
By: Nancy Valko, R.N.<br />
Join Nancy Valko, R.N. and the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Peter</strong> Pro-Life Group for a discussion about the special gifts of people with special needs.<br />
Nancy gave birth to a daughter with Down Syndrome and a serious heart defect, who passed away at the age of 5 months.<br />
Nancy ‟s daughter taught her:<br />
“That life isn‟t fair – to anyone. That self-pity can be an incapacitating disease. That God is better at directing my life<br />
than I am. That there are more caring people in the world than I knew. That Down Syndrome is an inadequate description of a<br />
person. That I am not „perfect‟ either, just human. That asking for help and support is not a sign of weakness. That every child<br />
truly is a gift from God. That joy and pain can be equally deep. That you can never lose when you love. That every crisis<br />
contains opportunity for growth. That every person has a special purpose in life. That I needed to worry less and celebrate<br />
more.”<br />
Join us to find out how children with special needs can change our lives for the better. Why does there seem to be a war<br />
against children with disabilities? Why are so many special needs babies aborted and, most importantly, what can we do to<br />
help? Come learn more about this topic and bring your questions, too!<br />
