All are welcome! The Interparish Collaborative is a group of leaders from numerous Catholic parishes with LGBTQ+ ministries who meet to support each other's ministries.

Our Mission

To create a supportive community among leaders of LGBTQ+ parish ministries and individuals, dedicated to creating a more welcoming and inclusive Roman Catholic church for all in the LGBTQ+ community. Our goal is to spread the Good News, one parish at a time, and witness to those in the LGBTQ+ community and their allies that there is a place at the table for them in our welcoming parishes.

“By our presence here we have said “yes” to God’s call to us to be involved in Christian ministry.  In particular, we have said “yes” to be a witness for all people, especially to those of us who are LGBTQ+, that God loves all, including and most especially LGBT folks.”
