OC Deaf Ministry in Orange County California is home at Christ Our Savior Catholic Parish in Santa Ana. You are able to find on our platform Catholic Churches doing California Deaf ministry. You can find such churches on the Mass and Confessions page. OC Deaf and hard of hearing ministry is growing. Deaf Christians are returning to the true Church of Christ. We are glad. Subsequently, we are taking up the mantle to offer sacramental preparation to suit the needs of the faithful. However, we are still searching on behalf of Christ for more souls. Deaf Outreach is best done when Deaf reach Deaf. In a few years time considering the growth rate we see we will be the biggest California Deaf Church.
California Deaf Ministry
California is a big state. There are a lot of churches in California. Though not many have an extensive Deaf program. In California there are a number of churches that have a full scale religious program tailored for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.
In the archdiocese of San Francisco Fr. Paul Z. is pastor at St. Benedict’s parish. He has been pastor for more than a decade serving the Deaf there. He is a Deaf pastor leading the Deaf. In the Archdiocese of Los Angeles at Holy Angels parish Fr. Tom S. leads the Deaf flock. Deaf outreach in Los Angeles really strong because at Holy Angels it is a personal parish for the Deaf and Hard of hearing.
The Diocese of Orange is shepherded by a number of priests. A couple of them know enough sign language to hear confessions, preach, communicate in ASL. The other priests have been attached with the Deaf community for decades now. They are faithful in their service to satisfy the spiritual needs of many.
