May all of us find some time during this busy season to focus on preparing ourselves for the coming of Jesus at Christmas. Please find in this newsletter a list of interpreted Masses for Christmas and Christmas Eve. I will also post the list on the website, so if there are any additions or changes you can find them there. In November, we held a workshop for religious interpreters. Sr. Kathleen Schipani, the Director of the Deaf Apostolate for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia presented the workshop. Twenty interpreters attended including two from Virginia and two from West Virginia. Feedback was very positive. Thank you, Sr. Kathleen!

This is an exciting seven-week series where we gather to share a delicious dinner (free of charge), see a dynamic teaching, and explore answers to some of the most important questions worth asking about God and finding ultimate purpose in life. We will participate with members of St. Ignatius parish in Ijamsville. There will be a separate Deaf group as part of this series. This is a great opportunity! The sessions will be held on Thursday evenings, January 10 February 21 from 6:30 to 8:45 in the social hall at St. Ignatius. There is no cost and a free meal each week. Hope you can join us!
