Searching for where Deaf churches are on the internet can be a hassle. Typical search entries are “Find Deaf Church” or “Find ASL Mass” or “Where Deaf Church” or “Find Deaf Christian Church” or “Find local Deaf Church.” Then a long list of websites follows. Hours can be spent looking for the nearest worship location near you. So, we made it a little bit easier for you to locate a church. You can find a mass anywhere in the United States and abroad! Now you can use our ASL Mass Finder.

To locate your nearest Church simply type the city you live in or the city you are traveling to. A list of Deaf Catholic Christian churches will display. If you are not a regular parishioner of the church that is shown. It is advisable to contact the community beforehand.

Sometimes entering the following: “Find Deaf Church” “Where Deaf Church” “Find ASL Mass” “Find local Deaf Church” “Find Deaf christian church” into a search engine will not show. However, our unique mass finder displays only Catholic locations that do Deaf ministry.

One difficulty that we find is that some prominent Deaf Catholic communities do not have a website or any social media presence. We encourage the promotion of this mass finder. The reason we want this as a common tool used by parishioners is to spread awareness. The more aware people are of this service likely equates to more locations will be displayed.

Find Deaf Church

If you are wanting to add your Catholic Deaf Community location to our mass finder, please contact us.

We know that ASL Students and ASL interpreting students are searching for a community to be part of. We realize they (you) need service hours. Gladly we welcome Catholic students and interns from all over to assist our religious program. They usually tell us they find us on the internet. We hope to get more students and interns with this added search tool. Moreover, on a national level we pray that every Deaf congregation gets more advocates and catechists.

There is a lot of work to be done in Deaf ministry in the Church. Religious instructional videos are wanting. ASL hymn videos are in demand as well. One day we hope to offer a large database of sacramental preparation videos for the Deaf and Hard of hearing community. The effort has already begun in other dioceses and online. Currently they are feeding the sheep. We commend them.

Time to full circle. Finding a deaf parish online can be difficult. We are making it more convenient for you. Type in your location. Select a church. Attend the parish. Need service hours? Need interpreting hours and a Deaf community? We got you. Use our ASL mass finder. It is easy to use. Use it when you are traveling.
