Founded by the Jesuits in 1900 (yes, it’s that old), the Xavier Society for the Blind (XBS) offers an outstanding collection of Catholic reading and listening materials in Braille, large print, audiocasette and audio CD. Nearly 1500 resources include over 50 statements from the US bishops’ conference as well as Catholic textbooks which are printed in Braille on-demand. XBS provides these resources for free to those who are blind or visually impaired. Currently it serves approximately 10,000 people in the US and Canada. To reach them at their New York office, call 212-473-7800 or visit www.xaviersociety.com.
