Gay & Lesbian Family Ministry

The LGBT Family Ministry aims to support all persons and their families in their quest for wholeness and holiness.

The Body of Christ in the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland is called to reverence each person as a unique reflection of God's presence in our midst. We commit ourselves to become a community of care, support, formation, reconciliation and witness to justice with and among gay and lesbian persons, their parents, family members, and all who minister in and with this community.
