"All Are Welcome" Mass

On July 13^th, six parishes from across the Diocese of San Diego participated in this year’s “All Are Welcome”.  The mass  presided by Bishop Robert Bejarano and priests from six parishes, welcomed many of the marginalized communities in the fold of the church. These communities included the unhoused, refugees/asylum seekers, those experiencing mental health issues, migrants, and the LGBTQ community.

The LGBTQ Prayer Group meets monthly on the 4th Sunday of the month after the 5:00 p.m. mass) in the Rose Room.

"It is a demonic mystery of the human soul why so many men and women have a profound and visceral animus toward members of the L.G.B.T. communities. The church’s primary witness in the face of this bigotry must be one of embrace rather than distance or condemnation. The distinction between orientation and activity cannot be the principal focus for such a pastoral embrace because it inevitably suggests dividing the L.G.B.T. community into those who refrain from sexual activity and those who do not. Rather, the dignity of every person as a child of God struggling in this world, and the loving outreach of God, must be the heart, soul, face and substance of the church’s stance and pastoral action."

Cardinal Robert Elroy
