The Pride of St. Margaret aims to welcome all LGBTQ+ people and their allies into participation in our faith community at St. Margaret of Scotland and affirm the intrinsic value and self-worth of all people. The Catechism’s call to “respect, sensitivity, and compassion” and Jesus’ call to “love one another as I have loved you” demand nothing less.

GOALS

• To provide welcoming opportunities to LGBTQ+ parishioners – and perform outreach to those members to allow more participation
• To provide resources and support to family, friends, and allies of LGBTQ+, including speakers and group-related activities
• To provide education resources and outreach to the teachers and staff of the parish school, including tools for use with the children to expand our understanding of diversity and inclusion
• To provide support to Parish youth who may identify as LGBTQ+ and protection from bullying via school-wide anti-bullying education
