Great Deaf Catholic Ministry News
Deaf Catholic Ministry News! Great news for Deaf Catholics in California! The Diocese of Orange proudly journeys with Deaf Catholics in Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Kern, and San Diego counties. We welcome everyone who has hearing loss. To minister to Deaf and Hard of hearing of different cultures and individual needs- the Diocese is working with faith leaders across the nation to bring you the finest content.
We are active in our engagement in fulfilling Jesus’ command to baptize in the name of the Father, and of the son, and of the Holy Spirit. The identity as a Christian is vital and life giving. It is contagious from one to another. That is why the Deaf church in OC is growing. We are ever grateful to the strong Deaf Catholic community in Orange County.
The Deaf Church in Orange County in Santa Ana located at Christ Our Savior Catholic Parish has a community that was here before the Diocese of Orange was even erected. Deaf Catholics living in what is known as Orange County today existed as the faithful under the archdiocese of Los Angeles. Deaf Catholics have occupied the pews in various locations in the diocese of Orange since 1976. Yet like nomads of our forefathers in faith, Deaf Catholics follow the good shepherd.
What helps our Deaf Catholic Church and community is communion with our lord. Our communion with Jesus Christ Our Savior is brought none other than receiving the sacraments, bible study, prayer, and ever fostering a vibrant Deaf congregation. So as the Lord feeds us who hunger and thirst for him, he feeds those who have not encountered him at all. With Jesus as our shepherd he utilizes and asks that each of individual talents strengthen the body of Christ.
Deaf Christian retreats in the Catholic tradition for men and women are heavily inquired about. Our Catholic faith has a rich history that is rarely shared in American Sign Language. Our mission in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange is to satisfy your spiritual hunger. Again, Great Deaf Catholic Ministry News!

Moral Theology in American Sign Language
Moral Theology in American Sign Language. Moral Theology, Thomas Aquinas, and the Question of Disability. Christian doctrine on human dignity has always affirmed the goodness of the body and the fittingness of our vulnerability in the good order of God’s creation. To paraphrase Saint Thomas Aquinas, as incarnate intellectual creatures formed in the image and toward the likeness of a triune God, those gifts are among the natural goods that predicate our greatest good and final perfection.In this lecture, Dr. Miguel J. Romero (Salve Regina University) asks what difference it would make if those doctrinal claims were treated as integral to the work of Catholic moral theology. Drawing upon the anthropological and moral outlook of Saint Thomas Aquinas, Romero proposes that the breadth and depth of this challenge is struck in high relief when we consider how the topic of “disability” is conceived and navigated, engaged and avoided, in contemporary Catholic systematic, moral, and ethical discourse.Special attention will be given to concerns and priorities expressed in the Pastoral Statement of U.S. Catholic Bishops on Persons with Disabilities and the USCCB Guidelines for the Celebration of the Sacraments with Persons with Disabilities.Special thanks to Dr. Paul Gondreau and Dr. Joseph Capizzi for participating in this event. This event is cosponsored with the Institute for Human Ecology at The Catholic University of America. April 20, 2021
The Task of Bishops explained in American Sign Language ASL
The Task of Bishops explained in American Sign Language ASL
Pray for priests
Keep them; I pray Thee, dearest Lord.
Keep them, for they are Thine
The priests whose lives burn out before
Thy consecrated shrine.
Keep them, for they are in the world,
Though from the world apart.
When earthly pleasures tempt, allure —
Shelter them in Thy heart.
Keep them and comfort them in hours
Of loneliness and pain,
When all their life of sacrifice
For souls seems but in vain.
Keep them and remember, Lord,
they have no one but Thee.
Yet, they have only human hearts,
With human frailty.
Keep them as spotless as the Host,
That daily they caress;
Their every thought and word and deed,
Deign, dearest Lord, to bless.
By the late John J Cardinal Carberry
