“Honouring the indispensable” (1 Corinthians 12)
Used within the biblical imagery of the Church as the body of Christ, Tio means to honour, respect and lift up. It describes how God asks us to treat people who are often perceived as weaker and of lesser value. Tio works to see people with intellectual disabilities honoured in the Church and in society.
