Signer: Fr John Transcript: We believe that Deaf people have the right to celebrate their faith in their own language, to participate in liturgical celebrations, develop and celebrate their own spirituality and discover meaning in life. Masses On the third Sunday of each month, there is a Mass celebrated in Auslan at 11am. Interpreters are also provided on first Sunday of the month at St Francis Melbourne. Weddings The Pastoral Team at JPC can assist with marriage preparation and with weddings at other churches and locations. Funerals The Pastoral Team at JPC can assist with preparation and celebration of funderals either at JPC or at other locations. Faith Development and Education Various activities including workshops and retreats are offered for members of the Deaf community. These are opportunities for prayer, reflection, understanding and expression of faith, and for deeper meaning in life. Sacraments Preparation is available for Deaf and CODA children and Deaf adults.
