About St. Francis de Sales
St. Francis de Sales dedicated his entire life to spreading the Good News to all people. He comprised numerous writings to teach countless others of the important role of Jesus in their lives. His writings remain to this day a source of information and education for the faithful.
Saint Frances de Sales also ministered to those who were rejected or often forgotten. St. Francis developed a new form of sign language in order to minister to the deaf he encountered and to teach them about Jesus as he did countless others.
When we say ALL are welcome, we truly mean ALL!
We are a welcoming place for our deaf community. Our church is a home were deaf and hard of hearing people can experience Holy Mass with ASL interpretation. We believe steadfastly that deaf and hard of hearing people are created equally valuable in God's Kingdom and are empowered in sharing the everlasting gospel. We affirm that we are all created in the image of God in diversity and can find ultimate wholeness, restoration, fulfillment and hope only in Him, His word, and the Holy Mass.
