Ministry to deaf persons began in the Episcopal Diocese of Western New York in the mid-1800s with a Bible Study at the Church of the Good Shepherd led by a teacher from St. Mary's School for the Deaf in Buffalo. Ephphatha was incorporated in the the mid-1970s under the leadership of The Rev. Alvin Burnworth. Fr.
