On Thursday, April 3, 2025, members of Cleveland Catholic Deaf Center Chapter 18 embarked on a 5-hour journey to Emmitsburg, MD, and arrived at the hotel in the evening. The next day, Friday, April 4, 2025, the group visited the Shrine of Elizabeth Seton, a revered saint, and took a tour of her residence and the cemetery where she was laid to rest. On Saturday, April 5, 2025, CCDC members attended the Deaf Eucharist Congress, which started with registration and information about the Shrine and Congress schedule. The committee organized two groups to present on growing in faith, featuring Jeannine Adkins and Deacon Patrick Garybill. A 4:30 pm Mass was held at the National Shrine Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes and drew approximately 215 deaf people from 25 states. On Sunday, April 6, 2025, CCDC members joined other deaf attendees for Mass led by Fr. Mike Depcik at Country Church, followed by brunch adjacent to St. Ignatius Church before departing for Cleveland. The experience was truly enjoyable.
