Christian feast day: Thomas Gallaudet and Henry Winter Syle (Episcopal Church)

Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet was an American educator. Along with Laurent Clerc and Mason Cogswell, he co-founded the first permanent institution for the education of the deaf in North America, and he became its first principal. When opened on April 15, 1817, it was called the "Connecticut Asylum for the Education and Instruction of Deaf and Dumb Persons", but it is now known as the American School for the Deaf.

Henry Winter Syle was the first deaf person to be ordained a priest in the Episcopal Church in the United States.

The Calendar of the Church Year is the liturgical calendar of the United States Episcopal Church. It is found in the 1979 Book of Common Prayer and in Lesser Feasts and Fasts, with additions made at recent General Conventions.
