The Hearing Circle

 

This wonderful group of hearing parishoners meet semi regularly to learn ASL. They can be casual learners interested in trying a few classes or those looking to build their knowledge to become a Liturgical Interpreter. Kindly reach out to Tom or Agnes if you are interested in joining this group. If you would like to start your practice now, click the link below for a few signs to learn on your own.
