Embracing God’s Gifts

Parish members are welcome to join our Embracing God’s Gifts ministry on the second Sunday of each month at 11:15 AM on the bottom floor of the Parish Office Building for its regularly scheduled in-person gathering. LGBTQ+ individuals and family members/allies of the LGBTQ+ community are encouraged to participate in this safe space, which includes storytelling, resource sharing, affirming spiritual exercises, and ongoing faith formation.

As members of the Mystical Body of Christ, the Church, we are called to celebrate and share the gifts of diversity in sexuality in our church today.

Our organization, Embracing God’s Gifts, has been formed as an instrument for recognizing these gifts and incorporating their goodness and use into the life of our parish.

Our mission is to create opportunities for the spiritual enrichment, support, and inclusion of all diverse individuals while being informed by church teaching and to promote awareness and community building among them.

We will accomplish this through various endeavors that foster support, communication, and social activities. We invite all to participate in this group with open-mindedness and compassion.

This group is open to anyone interested in fostering support, engaging accompaniment, and encouraging spiritual, social, or service-oriented activities among sexually and/or gender-diverse members of our parish and their family members and allies.
