St. Johns Hosts the Diocese "All Are Welcome" Mass


On July 13th, 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.


Mass offers warm embrace, open heart - The Southern Cross

Our faith community seeks to provide spiritual nourishment for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people and their families and friends. We seek to affirm the intrinsic value and self-worth of all people and to welcome them into full participation in the faith community. All LGBTQ people are welcome. We also welcome friends and family of LGBTQ people and anyone who might be questioning what it means to be a supportive Catholic for LGBTQ parishioners. Whatever your religious tradition, please know you are welcome to pray and worship with us.
