Filipino Deaf Dream








For the first time interpreted masses were held at the San Isidro Parish inTaft Avenue Pasay City last October 21, 2007. And thru the efforts of students of De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde School of Deaf Education and Applied Studies (DLS-CSB SDEAS) these interpreted masses continue to this day. The second year Deaf students (E2A and E2B) under Ms. Maria Teresa Buenaventura’s RECONSE (Religion and Contemporary Search for the Self) classes have taken the responsibility of organizing and coordinating this effort.


The Deaf program of the De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde (DLS-CSB) was created as a commitment to continue the Lasallian mission of Saint Benilde: to educate the youth, lead them to their faith and pursue a life long vocation.
Saint
Benilde was impartial to those he helped. Obvious difficulties did not stop him from responding to his commitment. He believed in and respected the uniqueness of his students. Instead of using his own verbal language to educate a Deaf boy, he learned the sign language of the Deaf and eventually used it to instruct and guide his apprentice towards Catholic faith.
