New Community for the Deaf

Fr. Tom Coughlin, OP Miss, on the extreme right, has been deaf since birth. He had a strong calling to become a priest and joined the Dominican order yet found it difficult to live in an all hearing community. Fr Tom felt called to found a group of men who are deaf to become priests so they could minister completely to the deaf community. They are moving to the diocese of San Antonio and any support you can give them would be wonderful. The disabled are often over looked, not appreciated and often not accepted. We need people who have a disability and are not afraid to follow their dreams to encourage others to continue on no matter how difficult the road is. Their patron is Blessed Margaret of Castello.
