CONTACT: GLO Core Team |
St. Monica Gay and Lesbian Outreach Ministry (GLO) is a fellowship where LGBTQ+ persons of faith are welcomed to explore their spirituality and share their experience, strength, and hope with one another. GLO was established in 1992 to provide a welcoming place for members of the LGBTQ+ Community at St. Monica. For over 25 years, the Ministry has provided outreach, acceptance, encouragement and fellowship to LGBTQ+ Catholics and their families.
