Orange County Deaf Church
Orange County Deaf Church in the Catholic-Christian tradition was founded years before 1976. This is because before the Diocese of Orange was erected, the Archdiocese of Los Angeles covered all of Orange County. Once our diocese was officially launched the Deaf attended the same churches but under a different bishop. The faith, community, and ministry all being the same. We continue handing down the faith tradition from one generation to the next in American Sign Language (ASL). Our faith community is a beacon in California and in the United States. We continue to thrive despite all odds and adversities thrown at us.
Orange County Deaf Church
We value belonging in our faith community. Our communal relationship with one another is what matters. Moreover, our relationship with Jesus Christ is paramount. Being in a melting pot of cultures, we are a mixed cultural community yet with the same Lord and shepherd leading us. Jesus Christ holds us together as one people after his own heart. He gives us his welcome and fellowship. This is why we have and continue to have a stable and strong Deaf community.
Our focus on faith
Our faith in the Lord is second to none. We believe that the gift of faith is unique and must be preserved all our life long. No matter the external obstacles or persons who wish ill to try our faith, do we ever cling to our Lord Jesus Christ. He is the Lord of Lords and King of Kings. Our Lord is good to reveal what happens to the good and just. He tells us that in psalm 34:19 “Many are the afflictions of the righteous; but the Lord delivers him out of them all.” RSV
We thank our bishops for supporting our Catholic Orange County Deaf Church. We salute them for funding this website through the pastoral services appeal. The pastoral services appeal raises money needed ministries and operations throughout the diocese. Without the generous benefactors throughout the diocese this new site would not have been able to happen.
With many people visiting our site and contacting us constantly we plan to address your questions, comments, and ideas for the future. The sky is the limit as to our Deaf outreach ministry. We are here to bring Jesus Christ to the Deaf and Hard of Hearing in our diocese and beyond. If we are only able to introduce Jesus Christ in our online ministry to then lead others to their nearest Deaf church, mission accomplished.

Trying to find a Deaf service?
Deaf Church services near me helps anyone traveling. Such service is a new on a diocesan website serving the Deaf and Hard of hearing community.
Non Denomination Churches that communicate in American Sign Language may have a similar service. However, they do not emphasize all Catholic parishes.. For example Baptist Deaf ministries have many websites tailored for the Deaf.
Christian Deaf ministry websites have as well Deaf Church Where for their own theological base. The true Church is now focusing it’s efforts in the New Evangelization to reach out to the peripheries.
Churches across the globe do have Deaf communities being taken care of and have been doing so for many years. Yet, they have not been identified so as to be refuge centers for those seeking Christ according to their needs.
The growth and use of American Sign Language in America is skyrocketing. ASL is offered at most high schools and now nearly every college as a foreign language. Sign Language students are able to hone their skills by volunteering at the Deaf community of their choice. And so, we like to see more ASL student interns on our doorsteps serving their brother and sister in Christ.
It is good to know where in Southern California that Deaf events occur. Finding Deaf events in Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, or San Bernardino can be difficult. This goes for any place or location in the world. Knowing where a mass in ASL is to occur is more than half the battle.
