National Chaplaincy for Deaf People
The National Chaplaincy for Deaf People has been providing pastoral care for Deaf people for over 150 years.
There is a strong focus on working with the Deaf community in Dublin, especially the school, residences and the centre for Deaf people in Deaf Village Ireland. There is also a focus on supporting the Deaf Community throughout Ireland through the provision of chaplaincy services that combine spiritual and pastoral care.
Pastoral & Chaplaincy Services
We participate in school and adult prayer, faith formation. We invite Deaf people to exercise ministry and service in the church
We respond to the pastoral needs of the Deaf people by making ourselves available to advocate, support and liaise with church, statutory and voluntary organisations

Chaplaincy Mission Statement
By our Baptismal calling, our Mission is to share the Good News of Jesus Christ, by work and action with Deaf People of all ages as members of the People of God, Christ’s body.
The Chaplaincy aims to live and promote the integral Values of the Gospel; To love God, to love our neighbour through Respect, Justice, Love and Inclusion.
We facilitate the gathering of Deaf People together to express, nourish, share and cherish their faith in the spirit of Jesus Christ through the celebration of the sacraments
