The conference, which began on August 2, will include theologians, scholars, educators, pastors, clergy, and LGBTQ advocates speaking on a variety of topics.
Pastoral ministry among the LGBTQ community in America. It was James Martin who spoke to Pope Francis about the meeting and told him that the members wanted to hear the Pope’s words. After this, the Jesuit priest spoke to him and greeted the members. Cardinal Wilton Gregory, Archbishop of Washington, will offer Holy Communion to the participants.
In his short message, the Pope noted that he was very happy to know that the cardinals were celebrating Holy Mass for the members and united in prayer. The Pope asked for the blessing of Jesus and the protection of the Holy Mother.
This is the fourth time Pope Francis has addressed Catholic outreach programs for LGBTQ members.
