Hannah Houser ’17 Ministers to the Deaf Community
Muskingum University alumna Hannah Houser ’17 was recently recognized for her work ministering to the deaf community, as she pursues her religious vocation.
In a profile by The Catholic Telegraph, Hannah reflected on her call to serve. She is an Associate with the Sisters of St. Francis, Oldenburg, and is currently in discernment on her path to join the order.
Hannah lives with apraxia, a motor speech disorder that makes it difficult to speak, and she learned sign language at a young age. “I’m excited to share God’s gracious gift of me signing with the sisters,” said Hannah. Her goals include teaching religion and prayers through basic ASL to children and adults, as well as advocating for those with disabilities.
She earned her Muskingum degree in sociology, with a focus on animal and environmental issues.
Hannah is also active with the Labouré Society, a non-profit organization that helps aspirants raise funds to decrease their student debt so they can pursue religious life.
