Accessibility Statement Last Updated: May 21, 2026
Our Commitment to Inclusion The Fatima Shrine Filipino Community is dedicated to ensuring that our website is welcoming and accessible to all members of our community and visitors. We believe that information regarding our events, programs, and community resources should be easy to find, read, and understand, regardless of physical or cognitive ability.
Integrated Accessibility Tools To provide a customizable experience, we have integrated a suite of accessibility features across our website. Users can access these tools at any time via the accessibility interface located on the bottom-left of the screen.
Our digital toolkit includes:
Customizable Readability: Users can adjust the site to their needs by increasing or decreasing font sizes, switching to dyslexia-friendly fonts, adjusting line height, and increasing letter spacing.
Visual & Contrast Modes: We offer dark, light, and high-contrast modes, as well as monochrome/grayscale options to assist users with visual impairments or light sensitivity.
Navigation & Focus Aids: To help maintain focus, users can enable a Reading Guide (horizontal line), utilize a high-visibility cursor, or pause animations for any moving content on the site.
Text Alignment: Users may force left-alignment of text to provide a consistent and predictable reading structure.
Audio Assistance: We provide text-to-speech functionality across most pages of the site, including our homepage and announcements, to assist users who prefer or require auditory information.
Image Descriptions: We aim to provide Alt-Text (Alternative Text) for images used across the site to support screen-reader users.
Continuous Improvement & Limitations We strive for a clear, consistent, and simple navigation experience. However, we recognize that some sections—particularly third-party forms, external links, or older media files—may have varying levels of accessibility. We are constantly working to improve these areas to ensure a seamless experience for everyone.
We Value Your Feedback If you encounter any barriers or have suggestions on how we can improve your digital experience, we want to hear from you. Please reach out to us so we can continue to make our digital community space more inclusive.
