What you know, what you’re not sure you know, and what you don’t know you don’t know about the Catholic response to our LGBTQ brothers and sisters.
How and why are we called to embrace marginalized groups and what does that mean for welcoming Catholics in the LGBTQ community?
How do we, as Catholics and as a parish, respond to the changes in our laws that are negatively impacting our LGBTQ brothers and sisters?
