The Holy Spirit Mission Church for the Deaf was founded as a parochial mission in 1960 at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Berkeley, California and would later become a Diocesan mission. A profile of the church written in 1988 states that their mission is “to proclaim to Gospel among hearing impaired and deaf people and their families and to enable Christian ministry and community among hearing impaired and deaf individuals in a language understood by them.” Little information is available regarding the status of the Mission past 1988, however records in this collection indicate that it was in operation until the early 2000's.

The records of Holy Spirit Mission Church for the Deaf includes a detailed history of the church, financial and administrative files, bylaws, publications, parish records, and parochial reports. Eight photo albums documenting the church from 1982 to 1998 round out the collection.
