Experience your Catholic faith in a new way.
Providing the deaf community access to everything the Catholic Church offers.
UPDATE: Public Masses
First, Archbishop Naumann still has that dispensation for us so we are NOT required to attend Sunday Masses. If you’re sick, taking care of someone who’s sick, have health issues (high at risk), or not feeling comfortable with going to Mass, don’t go to Mass! You’re not committing a sin in not attending Mass.
When you feel ready to go to Mass in person, make sure you have your mask and hand sanitizer. Keep your mask on for the duration of Mass except when you are receiving the Eucharist. Also, follow social distancing rules and sit where the usher tells you to sit. If you are sitting near the back, you will be among the first to leave. If you are sitting near the front, you will be among the last to leave.
