Deaf Ministry
SIGNED/INTERPRETED MASSES

(Special Ministers of the Eucharist Recommitment)

Every Sunday (except the third Sunday of the month), there is an interpreted Mass at:
St. Anne Church - 30 College Street (off Route 33) - Chicopee, MA
Time: 9:00 a.m.

Masses on special holidays (e.g. Christmas, Easter) are signed also. The time is usually 9:00 a.m. Check with the office for Ministry With the Deaf if you have questions.
The information is also listed in our quarterly newsletter. (Contact us if you wish to receive the newsletter.)

PRAYER/COMMUNION SERVICE AND SOCIAL

On the third Sunday of each month, there is a Prayer/Communion Service at:
The K of C - #4044 (Castle of the Knights) - Unit #4
1599 Memorial Drive - Chicopee, MA.
Time: 10:00 a.m.

(Acting out the Christmas Gospel at the K .of C.)

Deaf persons are involved in the service: leading the prayers, acting out the Gospel, signing “deaf” music, and serving as Eucharistic Ministers or ushers. Interpreters are provided for hearing persons, oral deaf persons, and the deaf/blind.
During the Prayer Service, food (canned food or dry food) is collected for our Food Pantry. Staff members from the office distribute this food to deaf individuals or families who may need a little extra help.

After the Service, there is always a Social. Coffee and dessert (provided by people who attend) are served to all who come. It is a wonderful opportunity to meet deaf persons, share with families who have similar concerns, and improve signing skills. All are welcome!
