Out at St. Paul
Out at St Paul (OSP) is the LGBTQ+ ministry of our parish, which seeks to engage our Catholic faith through service to our community, social activities and the exploration of Catholic spirituality.
We host events and activities around three guiding principles:
- SPIRITUALITY: Enrich the spiritual and intellectual needs of LGBTQ+ Catholics.
- DIALOGUE: Build a positive community spirit and provide a safe and nurturing environment for LGBTQ+ parishioners at St. Paul’s.
- SERVICE: Leverage the talents of LGBTQ+ parishioners to focus on needs within the LGBTQ+ community in NYC.
Please visit outatstpaul.org for more information about upcoming events or email us at [email protected]
