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

 


 

We list these organizations because their LGBT-related activities may be of interest to Catholic parents of LGBT persons and those who minister with them. Their being listed does not necessarily mean that Fortunate Families agrees with all the views represented by these groups.
