Mission
The Office for the Deaf and Hearing Impaired serves the special needs of Catholic deaf adults, youth and their families to enable each deaf Catholic person to share fully in the Catholic faith - a right he/she has from his/her Baptism - and to grow in faith with the support of clergy and religious skilled in the communication and culture of deaf persons.
