We are the Church of St. Francis of Assisi LGBT Ministry, inspired to action by the charism of St. Francis of Assisi, to welcome, worship, and witness. By welcoming, celebrating and engaging, we are an example to our Catholic Community in fostering an inclusive environment. We fulfill our mission by sponsoring spiritual events, educational and social activities and outreach for members of our community and to people in the greater community within the Archdiocese of New York.

About our ministry and our colors:
Identifying as Lesbian or Gay and Catholic can sometimes be a challenge, however, we affirm you.
As a ministry, together we recognize that all people are truly created in God’s image and VISION a world where all people understand their God-made perfection. Therefore, we’re on a MISSION to design an inclusive environment within our Catholic community by delivering equality, through access to God and opportunity for connection.
::: ONE COLOR, ONE PROMISE :::
When celebrating with us, we have four promises that reflect the environment we’re designing—there’s one promise for every color showcased in our mark.
Green = Safety
We promise you a safe, authentically loving environment.
Yellow = Acceptance
We promise you acceptance with a smile and desire to know more about you.
Blue = Inclusion
We promise you inclusion with open arms and a warm hug.
Pink = Support
We promise you support, as your heart opens up through the good times and those times that are challenging.
