ARCHDIOCESE OF PHILADELPHIA

DEAF APOSTOLATE

MISSION

Rooted in faith and community, the Deaf Apostolate serves Deaf, hard of hearing, and DeafBlind Catholics and their families through ASL Masses, religious education, sacramental preparation, pastoral care, and community outreach. Our mission is to share the Good News of Jesus Christ, foster faith formation, build community, and expand access to the life of the Church for Deaf Catholics. Through American Sign Language, accessible ministries, and advocacy, we work to break down communication barriers and create opportunities for Deaf individuals and families to fully participate in worship, the sacraments, parish life, and leadership within the Church. Serving over 700 families throughout the Archdiocese of Philadelphia,

we warmly welcome all to join us in faith, fellowship, service, and lifelong growth in Christ
