From the archives – Deaf History Month
Attendees at a convention for the Apostolate for the Deaf use acousticon listening devices in the pews at St. Patrick’s Pro-Cathedral on Oct. 17, 1937. Many of the Archdiocese of Newark churches, including the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Newark, offer Masses in sign language.
