The LGBTQ+ Initiative of the Marianist Social Justice Collaborative, a sponsored effort of the Marianist Family of North America, is delighted to host Imago Dei: Embracing the Dignity of LGBTQ+ Persons, an assembly for the Catholic LGBTQ+ community. Imago Dei aims to celebrate the 50th anniversary of a 1974 groundbreaking conference centered on LGBTQ inclusion and ministry. We hope to honor those who foresaw the importance of developing pastoral care and outreach, and to envision how we can continue to respond to the needs of the LGBTQ+ community within our Church and world.
At Imago Dei, theological and pastoral leaders will share insights gained, as well as to consider challenges encountered in their own roles to advance justice for the LGBTQ+ community within the Church and broader society. Facilitated roundtables, small group discussions, prayerful reflection, and opportunities for networking will be key features of this assembly. Imago Dei will utilize all of the beautiful Mount Saint John property, over 150 acres of grounds which includes nature trails and a labyrinth under the care of the Marianist Environmental Education Center.
Join us as we explore the possibilities and limitations in the evolving pastoral care of LGBTQ+ persons within the Roman Catholic tradition!
