Acceptance Melbourne; an LGBTIQ+ affirming mass for Catholics and friends

Yes, you CAN be both queer and Catholic

Acceptance Melbourne has been creating and claiming safe and fully affirming spaces in Melbourne for 50 years. Grab dinner on Chapel Street then join us for a Midsumma version of our monthly mass at 8pm at St Joseph's Church. This generally lasts about 45-60 minutes, followed by an optional cuppa and treats in the hall upstairs, wrapping up around 10pm. We welcome people of all backgrounds, you do not have to be Catholic to attend, but you must be queer affirming and remain respectful during the mass.

We are an affirming, volunteer-run, non-profit organisation in Melbourne, Australia that supports Catholics who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex, Queer, Questioning and their allies. Acceptance Melbourne empowers one another through fellowship and understanding, believing in God’s love for all. We provide a safe and sacred place for spiritual growth. If you cannot make it, but have other ways you would like to contribute, please contact us via our website/email.

This is a free event, but we are grateful for donations as this is our only source of revenue.
