National Catholic Office of the Deaf

Pastoral Week (Friday)
As many Catholic gatherings do, our pastoral week started with a liturgy for 90 or so participants from all over the USA.
There is a group of six American Sign Language interpreters working at this conference to facilitate the spread of the program content and enable communications among the participants with various levels of sign language skills.
One of the first speakers was Fr. Bill Key from Milwaukee. He and I have been friends since these annual gatherings in the early 1970s.

Two other friends from the early days of deaf ministry are Bea (L) and Judith, Sisters of Providence who are ministers in Seattle. Here we are at a nearby mall food court for a supper to allow us to catch up.
