To Transgender Catholics:

6/17/2020

“You belong to the heart of this church. There is nothing that you may do, may say, that will rip you from the heart of this church. There is a lot that has been said to you, about you, behind your back that is painful and is sinful. I mentioned my conversation with Fortunate Families. We have to find a way to talk to one another, and to talk to one another not just from one perspective, but to talk and to listen to one another. I think that’s the way that Jesus ministered. He engaged people, he took them where they were at, and he invited them to go deeper, closer to God. If you’re asking me where do you fit, you fit in the family.” 

— Archbishop Wilton Gregory, Archbishop of Washington D.C. at Archdiocese of Washington Theology on Tap

United Catholic Youth Ministries echoes the message of Archbishop Gregory to all transgender Catholics, especially young people. You belong. Read about Archbishop Gregory's message: New Ways Ministry

We are going to give our Children's Liturgy of the Word Team a short break. We will continue to provide at-home resources, but will not publish any videos for the remainder of the month of June. We will resume our bilingual weekly videos on Sunday, July 12th. 

In the meantime, we could use some more readers so that our current team does not get too tired. If you are interested in being a reader for English and/or Spanish readings, reflection, prayer, or intercessions, please contact James Holzhauer-Chuckas, ObSB at james@ucym.org.
