The missionary mandate of Christ Jesus is the clear imperative to proclaim the Good News to every creature. Therefore, in order to assume the Missio Dei (MISSION OF GOD), it is necessary to establish effective communication between the interlocutor and the message recipient. For centuries, the Church and society in all its spheres have had a notorious difficulty in establishing a dialogue with the Deaf. The mistaken conception about being Deaf led their community to consider them as half a person, abandoned to animality. Today, it is understood that such a conception is mistaken, outdated, and inadequate. The present qualitative bibliographic research, entitled "Signs of an Inclusive Church: The Announcement of the Kerygma to the Deaf," by the academic Leonardo M. de Araújo, has as its main objective to discuss the process of evangelization of the Deaf, its implications, and importance. The hypothesis that is sought to be raised is the estimation of learning Sign Language in the Catholic Christian community, particularly among bishops, priests, religious, and pastoral agents, to promote the development of a possible catechetical directory aimed at the Deaf, as well as to create a more inclusive Church so that everyone, without exception, has access to ecclesial life
