Deaf Ministry Resources
Deaf Ministry is growing. Why is this? There are number of possible reasons. First and foremost is that God loves us. God wants to draw all men to himself. So that is why Deaf Church Ministry is on the rise. There are a number of Deaf Ministry Resources available.
Another reason why Deaf ministry is booming in all Churches is that American Sign Language is an official language. It has all of the requirements of a language. For this reason almost all schools and colleges offer courses in ASL. Ergo, the more exposure and course offering available the more people who know the language.
To make this even more clear why ministry to the Deaf is becoming more prominent is due to a compounding of the points above. With more and more knowing sign language it becomes more obvious to them to think “where are the Deaf?” Hence the need for such pastoral care. God is calling all of us.
With this mind we ought to be creative and make the gospel attractive. We are in the season of the “New Evangelization” which includes the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. And so we need more resources.

Preacher’s Shock is one the funniest church stories in American Sign Language. It is done exceptionally well by OIC movies. It is also a wonderful teaching point of how to emphasize facial expressions in ASL.

Christian House of Prayer explained in ASL
Christian house of prayer explained in ASL. Thank you ASL Youcat for their excellence is conveying the faith. It looks like we have a new web evangelist!! Kudos to all the many who are stepping up to proclaim the good news.
This episode of ASL Youcat highlights what a Christian house of prayer is. It is where we are spiritually fed. A Christian house of prayer (popularly Centers, Chapels, Cathedrals, Basilicas, and Churches)is where we encounter heaven on earth. We experience the divine while on earth in a house of prayer.
The most Holy Eucharist and Precious blood is offered to us so that we might have the love of God within us. The love of God is called grace. Grace precisely is the indwelling of the Holy Spirit within us. We get this when we receive our Lord’s body and blood: when we are at church and in the state of grace.

Spreading the Gospel in American Sign Language
Spreading the Gospel in American Sign Language are two widely known entities, namely Fr. Mike Depcik and ASL Catholic Media. Fr. Mike Depcik is a force of nature conveying Jesus Christ to the Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and Hearing (who are deaf). ASL Catholic Media provides probably the most conceptually and grammatically accurate translation of the gospel. There might be others out there but they have not yet committed to public Deaf ministry. We will pray for their conversion. The Archdiocese of Washington DC also does a good job Spreading the Gospel in American Sign Language. The uniqueness of the Gospel in ASL especially by Catholics is that we are too few in number, and we are not that organized in terms of formalizing how the gospel is interpreted. By watching these interpretations of the Gospel in ASL. We all hope that the message of truth and love that revelation gives us to us draws us closer to Jesus Christ. If you would like to contribute in any way to Deaf Ministry at large or to the above contributors in any way please contact them as you wish.
Deaf Ministry – Eucharistic Miracles – ASL
Deaf Ministry – Eucharistic Miracles – ASL. Eucharistic Miracle Rome, Italy Rome #1 in ASL.
~”This miracle occurred in Rome, Italy in 595. A faithful woman made the bread to be used at Mass and gave it to her church for the Consecration. Pope St Gregory the Great was celebrating the Mass, and while he was distributing Holy Communion, the faithful woman was standing in line along with other people and she heard the Pope saying “Body of Christ”. She laughed aloud, and the Pope stopped her and asked her to explain her behavior. Deaf Ministry – Eucharistic Miracles – ASL. She explained that she could not believe that the bread that she had made, had truly become the Body and Blood of Christ. Pope St Gregory refused to give her Communion and he prayed and begged God to help her to understand the truth about the Consecration and the bread and wine becoming the Body and Blood of Christ. [Deaf Ministry – Eucharistic Miracles – ASL] After he finished his prayers, he saw the consecrated Host become Flesh and Blood. The woman repented and knelt on the ground crying. Currently the miracle is preserved in a relic at the Benedictine monastery in Andechs, Germany. You can visit and see the miracle. I don’t know why they preserved it in Germany instead of Rome. That is a great miracle story!”- Youtube Post. Deaf Ministry – Eucharistic Miracles – ASL
