Statements

Occasionally, Fortunate Families, or someone with whom Fortunate Families networks, writes a letter or issues a statement in response to an event or statement from public or religious authorities. Here are some of these letters and statements.

Mission Statement

Fortunate Families serves as a resource and networking ministry with Catholic parents of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender children.

We promote and facilitate personal, meaningful, and respectful conversation, especially within our parishes and with our pastors and bishops. We stress the significance of our personal stories as a source of grace within our families and as a witness for justice in our civic and faith communities.

We hold fast to the truth that our children are, in the words of the United States bishops, “child[ren] of God, gifted and called for a purpose in God’s design.” Always our Children 1997-1998
