[Faith-talk] blind Catholics

[John J. Boyer]

Beth,

I am a blind Catholic and I have a Catholic website, 
http://www.godtouches.org . I've taken classes in lay ministry, but I 
really don't have much interest in participating in rituals, except for 
receiving the sacraments. I once considered seriously becoming a priest, 
despite being both deaf and blind.
