Thirty parishioners with hearing impairments also participated in this mass. Father Kim Callisto lost his hearing at the age of four. Through his mother’s encouragement and with tremendous effort, he achieved his dream of becoming a priest. Earlier this year, he was ordained as a priest with hearing impairment.
