Summary/Abstract: Education in faith is an inalienable right of every human being, including people with intellectual disabilities. It is implemented with the cooperation of three educational environments: family, school and parish. Its integral element is the sacramental catechesis preparing for the sacraments of penance and reconciliation, Eucharist and Confirmation. This kind of ministry of proclaiming the Word of God to people with intellectual disabilities results not only from the necessity for the baptized persons with intellectual disabilities to accept the sacraments of Christian initiation and the sacrament of penance and reconciliation, but above all from the canons’ interpretation of the canonical code, theological opinion and catechetical and pedagogical practice.
