She also hoped to see more education and training offered for Catholics who want to become interpreters -- for instance, compensation to attend workshops on signing offered at The College of Saint Rose in Albany.
"There's a whole community out there of people that are hard of hearing," she added. "They need assisted listening devices [like those offered at St. James] and better seating at church." (KB)
