Archdiocese of Ottawa-Cornwall

Since 1900, the Xavier Society for the Blind (XSB) has been providing free braille, audio, and large print materials to Catholics who are blind/visually impaired. They serve many people in Canada, including those unable to read standard print and others living with recent vision loss due to macular degeneration, glaucoma, cataracts, etc.

Their materials include the New American Bible in large print, as well as the Mass Propers in large print every month. Mass Propers are Missalettes for Mass and include the readings, prayers, and responses to the Mass on Sundays and special Feast days.

If you’re interested in learning more about their offerings, or potentially ordering some of their materials, get in contact using the information below:
