Gallaudet was or­dained to the di­a­co­nate June 16, 1850, and be­came an Epis­co­pal priest in 1851. Among his achieve­ments was the found­ing of St. Ann’s Church for Deaf Mutes in New York Ci­ty in 1852, which in ef­fect launched the Epis­co­pa­li­an miss­ion to the deaf. He al­so founded the Gal­lau­det Home for Deaf-Mutes, near Pough­keepsie, New York, in 1885.
