Hong Kong Trip

Catholic Deaf Gathering

Tomorrow will be a gathering of all the disability groups to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the center but today the deaf people gathered in the afternoon. It was wonderful simple event that was one of the most affirming days of my life.

When most people had gathered, we had a simple meal together, really informal.
It had been about six years since I was last in Hong Kong–thanks to Covid–and it was a really joyous reunion between me and the Catholic deaf community.
We made a picture with all the men present.
And then we invited all the women into a group photo.
And then we recognized the “volunteers” (really, ministers in my way of thinking) who have basically been with the Catholic deaf community for 20+ years.
Here, I am thanking the deaf community for their welcome, their coming together that evening, and for the gift of money they offered to support deaf work in Cambodia.
