ALWAYS OUR CHILDREN

Rooted in the pastoral spirit of Always Our Children, our ministry walks with parents and families as they navigate the complex experiences of loving LGBTQ+ children within the context of Catholic faith. We understand that this journey can involve questions, fears, hopes, and a deep desire for authentic connection. Our gatherings are shaped by mutual respect, prayerful listening, and a shared commitment to grow in Christ’s love. Whether you're seeking reassurance, community, or a place to simply be heard, we offer a welcoming and confidential environment where grace and truth meet. Together, we strive to foster understanding and healing, trusting in the Holy Spirit to guide us toward greater unity and deeper discipleship.
