Archbishop Costelloe marked the beginning of Holy Week with two important celebrations, inviting the congregation to commit to an active search for communion with Christ.
The Palm Sunday Mass was livestreamed to YouTube and Facebook supported by captions and AUSLAN interpretation, with more than 500 viewers tuning in.
The Record spoke with Emmanuel Centre employee and volunteer of more than 30 years, Geoffrey Scott, to find out how COVID-19 has been affecting daily life for members of the deaf and hard of hearing community here in the Archdiocese of Perth, and how Australian’s increasing exposure to AUSLAN is a source of hope for the future.
Hope for greater understanding of the need for people with disability to participate in their local parish community is the message shared by Lynette, Susan and Geoffrey, active members of 39 years from the Emmanuel Centre and the Ministry with Deaf and Hard of Hearing people.
