Organization

In accordance with our parish mission statement, we reach out to provide spiritual nourishment for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and their family and friends. We seek to affirm the intrinsic value and self-worth of all people and to welcome them into full participation in the faith community. All LGBT people are welcome. We also welcome friends and family of LGBT people and anyone who might be questioning what it means to be a supportive Catholic for our LGBT parish members.
