Fr. Tom Coughlin to be Awarded Honorary Doctorate
At Gallaudet’s May 2014 commencement, Fr. Tom Coughlin will receive an honorary doctorate. Maybe a commencement address is in the plan, too!
“Father Coughlin is well known for his pioneering work in the ministerial field. He is one of the first deaf priests in North America, and his work in the deaf community is well known, particularly with youths. After working as a home missionary priest for the International Catholic Deaf Association, he founded Camp Mark Seven, a program for Catholic deaf youth and adults, in Old Forge, N.Y. He also is noted for establishing the House of Studies for Deaf Seminarians in Yonkers, N.Y., which was later transferred to San Antonio, Tex., where it became known as the Dominican Missionaries for the Deaf Apostolate.”
