Our Commitment
Accessibility
Kolbe Cathedral is committed to making this website usable by everyone, including people who use assistive technologies.
Our Commitment
Built for everyone.
We want every member of our community — families, students, alumni, and neighbors — to be able to find and use the information on this website, regardless of ability or the technology they rely on.
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. Accessibility is an ongoing effort: we review and improve the site over time, and we welcome feedback that helps us do better.
What We’ve Built In
Features of this site.
Keyboard navigable
Interactive elements can be reached and operated with a keyboard, and visible focus indicators show where you are on the page.
Respects reduced motion
Animations honor your operating system's “reduce motion” preference, so movement is minimized when you ask for it.
Semantic structure & alt text
Pages use semantic HTML landmarks and headings, and meaningful images include descriptive alternative text for screen readers.
Sufficient color contrast
We aim for text and essential controls to meet WCAG color-contrast guidance against their backgrounds.
Resizable text
Layouts use relative units so you can zoom or enlarge text in your browser without losing content or functionality.
Honest & Ongoing
Known limitations.
No website is perfect, and parts of this site may not yet meet every accessibility goal — for example, some embedded or third-party content and older documents may fall short.
