The mission of the office of Ministry With the Deaf is to welcome and provide Deaf and Hard of Hearing people with access to the Catholic Faith Community and all religious events in the Camden Diocese, “to ensure that the power of salvation maybe shared by all”(Pope John Paul II). 

We endeavor to evangelize, serve and empower all Deaf and Hard of Hearing people in the Camden Diocese. Our pastoral care services affirm the Deaf and hard of hearing people in all aspects of their faith life so that they can reach their full potential as baptized and active members of the Church.

“That all may be one…” Ministry With the Deaf is about access to the Word of God and inclusion in any event that will develop and strengthen the faith life of the baptized Deaf person. “To promote respect and justice for all people, to strengthen unity within our diversity” (Vision Statement of Camden Diocese). We encourage relationships, compassionate out reach and respect for all people in the Family of God, the Church.
