Roma Vanduzer, right, who is deaf and blind, reads Braille as it is typed into a machine during a service at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, 601 E. Fort Lowell Road. Elaine Chavez, far left, signs the sermon for Donald Vanduzer, who also is deaf and blind. Chavez and Sonya Hernandez, in the middle, both are deaf. The Vanduzers are able to attend and understand the Mass on Sundays because of a section for hearing-impaired parishioners. The sermon is input into the Braille machine by Eleanor Forte. Roma Vanduzer places two fingers on the machine and as Forte types, the corresponding Braille letters roll across her fingers. Forte types in everything that is said during the hour-plus service. Roughly 15 deaf people attend the Mass each Sunday.
