in their faith preparation
Members of the Deaf Apostolate have a new tool for religious formation. The National Catholic Office for the Deaf (NCOD) has produced a video series titled Strengthen in the Faith: Confirmation. Teenagers and adults who are deaf or hard of hearing and are preparing to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation can now study through video lessons in sign language. The series will also assist those wishing to learn the signs for religious vocabulary.
The series premieres on:
3:30 p.m.
Saint Joseph's University - Doyle Banquet Hall
City Avenue and Cardinal Avenue
Philadelphia, PA 18131
Strengthen in the Faith: Confirmation is a video series that presents religious concepts through lessons in American Sign Language, vignettes on the life of the Saints, and scripture. Each lesson also includes vocabulary in American Sign Language.
Archbishop Chaput is featured in one of the lessons. Many prominent deaf actors and actresses appear in the series as well as local actors and actresses from Philadelphia.
