St. Stephen’s Chapel, a quaint, albeit historically prominent hub for corporate Catholics in Toronto's financial district and home to the archdiocese’s deaf ministry for over two decades, will celebrate its final Mass under the Archdiocese of Toronto’s ownership at the end of October. While the decision marks the end of an era for the chapel, St. Frances de Sales Deaf Community coordinator Carol Stokes remains optimistic about the group’s future at its new location, the René Goupil Chapel at the Catholic Pastoral Centre in midtown Toronto. The Archdiocese of Toronto’s deaf ministry, which celebrated 100 years of outreach and pastoral care back in 2018, will now have a home with historic connections as well. As told to the deaf community by current chaplain Fr. The archdiocese confirmed that, although closing, its commitment to the ministries operating at St. Stephen's Chapel will continue.
