INDIANAPOLIS (CNS) — The conversation before Mass was boisterous — words of welcome, friends greeting each other, catching up, talking of their excitement about the upcoming Mass and presentation.
The volume would have raised a racket — had it been verbal.
But the chatter was communicated in a flurry of fingers using American Sign Language.
The exchange took place at St. Matthew the Apostle Church in Indianapolis on a recent Wednesday, when the Indianapolis Archdiocese’s Office of Catechesis arranged for a special Mass, dinner and talk for the archdiocese’s deaf community.
