Our Mission
The Village of Merici will foster independence development and assure purpose-filled lives for adults with developmental disabilities. This will be accomplished by building and sustaining a neighborhood village which offers a continuum of supports and options in all areas of living including residential, occupational, educational, spiritual and social. The Village of Merici is a 501(c)3 organization.
Our Vision
Answering God’s call to serve adults with developmental disabilities, we will focus on providing a safe, joyful, accessible neighborhood environment with choices in residential living and support, occupational training and job placement opportunities, and social activities, all in the framework of sustaining and improving the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health of the individuals we serve. By focusing on a strong sense of community we will create a stronger sense of belonging in the Indianapolis area.
