On 6 November Bishop Paul McAleenan joined the Deaf community to celebrate Mass for them. Bishop Paul worked closely with the Deaf community while he was a parish priest and was glad to be able to continue his ministry to the Deaf.
During his homily he spoke about the different ways in which we approach death, reminding the congregation that ‘Christ has taken the poison from the sting through his death and resurrection’.
The Mass was well attended by the Deaf and their families. Shell Roca of Caritas Deaf Service said they were ‘delighted to have Bishop Paul with us again’.
