The Our Father in ASL is in a Catholic theological context. Learn how to Sign the Our Father in American Sign Language. There does not exist yet a consistent and uniform way of saying the Our Father in ASL. It is good to see different versions of how people say the prayer. The above version is for use by those who work in Catholic Deaf Ministry. You are welcome to share and download the ASL gloss for practice. It is also well to learn how to sign the Hail Mary in ASL.
Memorize the above version and then be able to participate in almost any Deaf mass in the nation. You can find Deaf Catholic Churches by clicking here.
Our Father
Our Father in American Sign Language ASL is sometimes hard to learn. Getting the right hand shapes maybe a little difficult. No worries, with some time effort and energy you will be able to pray with the Deaf in American Sign Language. For more information with regard to where the Deaf meet in the Greater Los Angeles area you can click here. Within Orange County California you can find on our homepage or on the diocese directory page.
Learn how to Sign the Our Father in American Sign Language. Once you got this prayer down, and then join anyone praying the prayer you can proceed to the next Deaf insight. Here is the insight. Unlike hearing people who join hands when they say the Our Father, the Deaf join feet. Touch the base of your shoes to the left or right of you and then use your hands to sign the prayer. This is all part of how to sign the Our Father in ASL.
Sign Language
Sign Language has a unique history with the Catholic Church. Many monks and priests were influential in the development of it. Read the article. Analysis of the language continues to this day. Writing ASL is now being developed for future ages. Written ASL looks like graffiti but it is not. Why does it look like this? Following linguistic rules requires that written ASL be shown in this way.
We are currently grateful with all the word done in the Deaf Catholic world. There is much to be thankful for. We give a huge shout out to ASL Catholic Media, ASL Youcat, NCOD, Fr. MD, Deaf Catholic Philly, Al Alvord, and all the others. Keep up the good work. God bless you.

Member Forum
(Zoom Platform)
Since we will not be able to meet in-person for this Pastoral Week, this will be an opportunity for NCOD members to “see” each other virtually and share with each other the experiences of working in Deaf Ministry during this pandemic. We will have break-out groups to do that. There will be announcements from NCOD Board of Directors including the recipient of the Father David Walsh Pastoral Worker of the Year 2021 Award. We’d love to see you, even thought it will be in virtual!
