Fortunate Families, a Catholic Family, Friends & Allies Ministry, supports LGBTQ+ siblings by facilitating respectful conversation with bishops, pastors and Church leadership, through sharing personal stories and by working to establish intentional Catholic LGBTQ+ Ministry Sites in dioceses, parishes, educational institutions, and communities.
Through accompaniment and bridge-building we seek to celebrate and safeguard the dignity of LGBTQ+ children of God.
This ministry travels throughout the United States speaking about LGBTQ+ intentional welcome and LGBTQ+ Ministry within the Catholic Church including such topics as "Prudence and Possibilities," "Do Whatever He Tells You," "Orthodoxy Means Living Our Social Teaching," "What Is the Reason For Our Hope?" and "Fratellu Tutti: dialogue, not simply talking" helping those discerning or beginning Catholic LGBTQ+ Ministry. There are Days of Discernment and Visioning, Days of Reflection, retreats for parishes, colleges, high schools, teachers, campus ministers and ministries, presbyterates, parish staffs, and communities of consecrated women and men.
