LGBTQ Ministry
Our parish’s LGBTQ Ministry provides an opportunity to celebrate that all of God’s children have been created in the image and likeness of God. Recognizing that we all strive to live holy and faith-filled lives, the members of this group commit themselves to supporting each other as companions on each other’s spiritual journey.
Our LGBTQ Ministry Gatherings bring together parishioners and friends for prayer, faith-sharing, fellowship, and service.
We hope that you will consider joining us – your presence at our gatherings would enrich our time together.
UPCOMING EVENTS
Thursday, September 11 at 7:00pm
Join us for an evening of reflection and community for LGBTQ Catholics. Together we will share our stories of faith, guided by Gospel passages that echo our own journeys and reveal how Christ continues to walk with us. We will split into small groups based on preferred Mass times to build connections.
