Nativity in the Darkness: Advent Reflections on Trans and Queer Hope

Join us for Nativity in the Darkness: Advent Reflections on Trans and Queer Hope: We reflect on the themes of hope, marginalization, and the power of the Nativity story, drawing parallels between the struggles faced by LGBTQIA+ people and the journey of Jesus’ birth in a world marked by darkness and oppression. Join us Wednesdays at 8pm ET/ 5pm PT December 4 - 18.

- December 8: Special Guest: Maxwell Kuzma, transgender man and lifelong Catholic who advocates for LGBTQIA+ inclusion in the Catholic Church, joins us for a special Advent reflection and discussion.
- December 11: Special Guest: Maddie Marlett, co-coordinator of the Dignity Young Adults, shares her wisdom and experiences as a transgender woman in the Catholic Church.
- December 18: Lessons & Carols: Join us for a contemplative lesson and carols that speak to the heart of hope during this season of emergence.

The event provides space for reflection, solidarity, and spiritual renewal, highlighting how queer and trans hope can be found even in times of difficulty, and emphasizing the inclusive, transformative potential of the Advent season for those on the margins. Registration required. There is a $10 suggested donation for this event. We appreciate your continued support!
