Exciting news! Next month, we will be hosting our CDA Conference. It will be the 55th anniversary of the establishment of our organisation, the Catholic Deaf Association.
The theme is ‘Pilgrims of Hope’, inspired by Pope Francis’s desire to promote synodality – how we, the Church, can work and pray together – and in celebration of this year’s ‘Jubilee Year’.
Our guest speaker, Fr Eamonn Mulcahy, is Deaf-aware and he will be with us to explain the concepts of ‘synodality’ and the ‘Jubilee Year’. He is an experienced and engaging speaker, and we are confident it will be a fascinating weekend. It will take place in Hinsley Hall, a lovely Conference Centre, with modern bedrooms, and excellent food. We will celebrate our our Vigil Mass on Saturday evening. The weekend timetable will be available soon.
Five people received Visual Faith certificates from Fr Paul Daly of St Joseph’s, Manchester
