[Faith-talk] Blind Catholics

[John J. Boyer]

Vincent,

If you can get a braille display you can access a lot of material 
through the web. My site http://www.godtouches.org has links to the 
liturgy of the hours, the daily Mass readings, the saint of the day, and 
much more. I know that braille displays are expensive, but often you can 
get them through rehab or other organizations. I am deaf-blind and I 
also 
use braille only.

John
