Dignity./San Antonio
—A light to the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and straight community since 1976DignityUSA works for respect and justice for all gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender persons in the Catholic Church and the world through education, advocacy and support.
DignityUSA envisions and works for a time when Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Catholics are affirmed and experience dignity through the integration of their spirituality with their sexuality, and as beloved persons of God participate fully in all aspects of life within the church and society.
As St. Ann's Church, where we meet, is having their annual festival, we will be meeting at Mission San Juan Capistrano on May 4th at the regular 5:30 time. Click on the calendar for that date to get a map to the church. Hope to see all of you there.
The men of Dignity have started a club for single gay men and men in budding partnerships. The meetings are the second Saturday of the month. You can contact Chris Kohn by email at chriskohn@aol.com or contact Arthur at Mass. Come and join the club.
Statement of Position and purpose
A. We believe that gay Catholics are members of Christ’s mystical body, numbered among the people of God. We have an inherent dignity because God created us, because Christ died for us, and the Holy Spirit sanctified us in Baptism making us a temple and the channel through which the love of God might become visible. Because of this, it is our right, our privilege, and our duty to live the sacramental life of the Church, so that we might become more powerful instruments of God’s love working among God’s people.
B. We believe that gays can express their sexuality in a manner that is consonant with Christ’s teaching. We believe that all sexuality should be exercised in an ethically responsible and unselfish way.
C. As members of DIGNITY/USA, we wish to promote the cause of the gay community. To do this, we must accept our responsibility to the Church, to society, and to the individual gay Catholic.
