WISH LIST Has hope services increase
"I would like to see more support for faith formation," she stated. "I have felt at times that it's a burden, that I can't do this alone. Having an interpreter be available for faith formation would be helpful."
She wondered if, like some church organists and cantors, interpreters could receive a stipend for their work. 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)
