Deaf Ministry Videos in ASL are posted weekly. We are doing so because we want a host of sign language videos at your fingertips. Particularly, ASL how to foster discipleship in our Lord Jesus Christ. Providing access to him through the church, revelation, and social media is what we are striving for. Introductions are big in any relationship. So, we want you and others to foster a meaningful relationship with Jesus Christ.
Starting the faith filled relationship with our Lord and savior is only the beginning. Other parts of this relationship is being in a community of believers. This is because as a community we receive and enjoy the many fruits of fellowship together. His love is within us who follow his commands, ordinances, and precious body and blood.
We communicate with each other at our services in American Sign language so that everyone has access.

Mass in American Sign Language is fascinating. It is fascinating because the mass is relatively silent. This is normal for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, but for those who are hearing and part of the community. It is a whole different world. For instance, instead of hearing music there is no music.
On solemnities we sometimes bring out the drums. Not a drum set, just simple drums that have a strong base. We use drums because the vibrations strong. An example of this is at the Alleluia proclamation. Everyone signs alleluia and the drums are played. It is a loud base sound so that all can hear. In the Bible the trumpet or a horn would sound to call the attention of the chosen people. Much similarly are the drums used for the Deaf. However, not all hear the drums.
We also cultivate an ASL choir. Much time is spent selecting appropriate music to practiced and performed in mass. On major holidays we strive to give back our skills and talents as a means to give God the glory.

Deaf ministry is growing at a fast pace. Why? Because more and more dioceses are addressing the needs of Deaf Catholics. The growth in parishes offering sacramental preparation creates the need to be in contact with one another. Having a phone number or email address helps a little bit but not really. Vision is important for Deaf and Hard of hearing people. So that is why being able to see where the Deaf churches are is important. By listing and mapping where every church is in the world we hope to be a beacon to dioceses worldwide with regards to Deaf ministry. Who knows who will use this feature in the world to make it better or develop something else more exquisite.
Fulfilling spiritual needs
Fulfilling the spiritual needs of so many Deaf is a huge task. It means knowing a little bit about Deaf culture and their world. Better yet it means knowing a lot about OUR world, the Deaf world. Our world needs vision. We need empowerment, a place to meet, and our Lord Jesus Christ. Empowerment is a dear term for us. Taking ownership of something and being given liberty to do cultivate our own is part of empowerment. It is being given all permission and approval but in keeping with what is honest, good, and true to make our lives live-able, enjoyable, and life-giving.
Church
Church provides us to a place to meet and access to our Lord Jesus Christ. His gifts, wishes, and zeal are given to others AND to us. He wants us to prosper. He wants us to be empowered so as to reach other Deaf and Hard of Hearing Catholics. But it does not stop there. He wants to go beyond to meet and preach the gospel. In his name we are conduits of His love. Where we go, how we live, and how we worship are indicators of our love to Jesus and His love toward us. It is a special bond of love. We want you have a map to be able to find Jesus anywhere in the world. Whether it is an American Sign Language mass or a mass said in any other sign language you will be able to find a place to go.
Find a Deaf church can be simple. Type in ‘ASL Catholic’ or ‘ASL mass’ in a search engine will provide you with a list of results. But, you will not find anything like what we have composed for you here. We provide the map, name of the church, and contact details.
More resources on how to get through the ASL mass parts and how to sign ASL Catholic prayers can be found here.
