Catholicism & Sexuality

The Catholicism & Sexuality group is a 6-week guide created by Q Christian Fellowship in collaboration with DignityUSA. This group is designed to explore the intersection of Catholic theology and LGBTQ+ identity in an affirming and inclusive way. The guide encourages participants to engage in discussions that help reconcile their faith with their experiences of sexuality and gender, drawing upon the rich traditions and philosophies of the Catholic Church. Each week covers different topics, such as the connection between body and soul, deconstructing harmful narratives, and integrating personal faith and identity. Through reflection and conversation, the group provides a supportive environment for LGBTQ+ Catholics to navigate their spiritual journeys while embracing their identities as beloved children of God.

All are welcome, no prior reading or expertise required, just an open heart and a willingness to learn together.

God is building a home. They are using us all—irrespective of how we got here—in what They are building. God used the apostles and prophets for the foundation. Now God is using you, fitting you in brick by brick, stone by stone, with Christ Jesus as the cornerstone that holds all the parts together.

Ephesians 2:20-21
