The goal of Deaf Ministry is to provide Deaf and hard-of-hearing persons and their families access to the Catholic Faith in order that they may participate in all aspects of parish life including worship, the sacraments, religious education and ministry to others. Deaf Ministry also assists parishes in identifying needs and making plans to achieve accessibility goals.
Deaf Ministry Workshops
Deaf Ministry hosts workshops throughout the year such as "Interpreting for Catholic Weddings, Funerals, and Other Special Occasions." Sign up for our mailing list or check our calendar for upcoming events.
