I am pleased to inform you I have been elected to be the chairperson for the Catholic Deaf Association (CDA) from 2022-2025. I’d like to take the opportunity to introduce myself and share some of my background. Since 2017, I have been an active member of the CDA and in that time I have attended pilgrimages to Walsingham and in 2018, to Lourdes. In between the pilgrimages, the CDA arranges conferences in England and Wales, and this is a good way for Deaf people to attend. I am excited to be working with the members of the council to bring in new ideas for the future of the CDA. My email address is cdachair1971@gmail.com if you need to contact me. I will be happy to answer questions or queries that you may have. Joselyn Taylor
