Pittsburgh’s Catholic Diocese has only one priest who can hear confessions in sign language. That means deaf worshippers “have to hold on to their sins” until he visits their parish, said Rich Patton, an interpreter at Mary Queen of Peace parish. Still, as some regional ASL congregations dwindle, new ways of ministering are emerging.
Also, Pittsburgh’s two largest universities saw declines of Black and Hispanic first-year enrollment in the first new class since the U.S. Supreme Court outlawed race-conscious admissions. Other schools saw more diversity.

How an American veteran, a father of a 15-year-old daughter, found himself inside this sprawling detention center outside Corpus Christi, Texas, waiting for a flight to a country he barely knows is a tortured tale of battlefield trauma, bureaucratic bumbling and eventually, a serious crime.
