  • The information on this page as a handout (pdf)

Additional Resources

Resources specifically prepared for schools are available on a separate page.

The Catholic Deaf Association has produced resources to assist priest and people to celebrate Mass with the 3rd edition of the Missal using sign language. These include a DVD – Liturgical Signs: Mass, Prayers and Glossary in Sign Language. On the DVD there is a clear demonstration of the sign language for both priest and people for the Order of Mass as well as familiar traditional prayers.

Videos

To assist with the introduction of the new translation a series of videos was produced which used the text and some of the music. The intention was both to show the translation in use and offer a resource for formation on the Mass.
