ABOUT BUILDING CATHOLIC FUTURES:

Building Catholic Futures, a nonprofit, equips Catholic institutions to better serve and share the Gospel with gay people. BCF's offers consultations, workshops, and resources help you understand what makes Catholic faith possible, appealing, and fruitful for gay people. We are LGBT/SSA+ disciples who are leaders in the Church, confident in our faith, and have spent decades mentoring others like us. Come share our confidence!

WEEKEND SCHEDULE:

NOVEMBER 12, 7:00 PM

An evening panel discussion with a theme of LGBT+ people's relationship to the saints. Panelists include Eve Tushnet, Keith Wildenberg, and more.

NOVEMBER 13 & 14, ALL DAY

Confident Witnesses is a retreat for people who identify as LGBT+/same-sex attracted and want to grow as witnesses to the Catholic faith. Retreatants will discern the ways their experience can be a gift to the Church, explore the challenges of leadership in this area, and connect their own stories with broader conversations about the mission of the Church, through prayer, fellowship, talks and discussions, and one-on-one mentoring.

NOVEMBER 15, 2:00 PM

This conversation is for people of any orientation who are accompanying LGBT+ people: as parents and loved ones, as clergy and people in pastoral care, and as friends and community members. The afternoon concludes with Sung Choral Vespers at 4:00 pm with Saint Thomas More's Schola Cantorum.
