More than 200 Deaf Catholics from across the United States gathered in Maryland for a Eucharistic congress, the first of its kind, on April 4–6, 2025, held at the National Shrine of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in Emmitsburg, Maryland.

According to Father Depcik, surveys have found that 96% of Deaf people do not attend church as there are limited services available in American Sign Language (ASL).
