Accessibility Ministry

This ministry arranges the resources needed to enable our parishioners with hearing or vision loss to fully participate in worship.

A skilled sign language interpreter is present at the 10:30 am service, on Holy Days, and at parish social functions upon request.

Each week we prepare large print books with service music and the complete service for people with low vision. The Book of Common Prayer and the 1982 Hymnal are available in Braille.
