A Catholic church in Manhattan, New York City, is planning to host a “Pride Mass” at the end of this month. Saint Francis of Assisi Catholic Church recently posted an event calendar for June on its main page. On the date marked June 28 is the label “PRIDE MASS,” and a description invites parishioners to “celebrate the start of Pride weekend with a joyful liturgy affirming God’s love for all.” According to reports:
“St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Manhattan plans to celebrate its annual ‘United In Love Pre-Pride Festive Mass’ at the end of the month to coincide with the city’s LGBT events commemorating ‘WorldPride’ weekend.
“On June 28, the parish will celebrate the ‘Pride Mass’ to commemorate ‘the start of ‘Pride weekend’ with a joyful liturgy affirming God’s love for all,’ per the parish events calendar. St. Francis of Assisi Church has celebrated ‘Pride Masses’ for several years and is notorious for its so-called ‘LGBT Ministry.’
“While there is currently no official advertisement for this year’s Mass beyond what’s written on the parish’s calendar, last year’s advertisement for the ‘United In Love Pre-Pride Festive’ Mass emphasized how this event is especially for all those who ‘don’t feel welcome’ in the Church.”

This is not the only time that Saint Francis church has allowed “Pride Masses.” In fact, this same parish is designated as an “LGBT-friendly” parish by “New Ways Ministry,” a heterodox group that advocates for homosexual sin in the Catholic Church.
A sacrilege like this cannot go by without faithful Catholic raising their voices in protest. We must show our rejection of this event, and make reparation. That’s why I urge you to please sign our petition to Fr. Brian Jordan, asking that he cancel this terrible event.
