The Pastoral Agent Training Institute (PATI) marked a historic step in DCYIA’s mission by centering Deaf leaders in the life of the Church. Bringing together participants from across Latin America, this program focused on strengthening pastoral identity, leadership, and spiritual formation. Through a combination of training, reflection, and community life, PATI empowered Deaf pastoral agents to deepen their relationship with God and expand their role as active leaders within their communities.
