Bridging the Unseen Gap: A Journey Toward True Inclusion

St. Anthony's Church hosted a celebration for the International Day of Sign Languages on 27 September. Organized by the Catholic Ministry for the Deaf, the event followed the theme of declaring the human rights of Deaf people.

The program included a Mass and a Rosary conducted in sign language. Participants also shared personal stories regarding faith and resilience. The Catholic Ministry for the Deaf noted that sign language represents a distinct culture and identity that allows Deaf individuals to express their thoughts and faith. The organization stated that true inclusion requires removing communication barriers in Church life, education, healthcare, and employment.
