Tomorrow morning I leave bright and early to go to Philadelphia to gather for Pope Francis' arrival, talk to those at Festival of Families, and hang out with really cool people.  Want to join me?

Here are some of the highlights of what is happening that is specific to LBGT inclusion and Call To Action.

The Equally Blessed coalition of pro-lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) Catholics will hold a press conference to introduce the diverse members of the LGBTQ family pilgrimage to the 2015 World Meeting of Families.

A CTA staffer has been invited to a large reception for Pope Francis in Washington, DC. If he would have an opportunity to greet the pope in our nation's capital, he might he say?

Call To Action will host a webinar to address the burning question of what can the everyday Catholic do, that is actually helpful, to stand for racial justice.

Call To Action has been collaborating with current and former Church workers, in addition to theologians and canon lawyers, to draft a declaration that will be brought to the conference floor this November calling on our institutional leaders to cease firing Church workers on the basis of their personal and conscience decisions.

Call To Action invites groups and individuals to hold caucuses or other special meetings as part of its 2015 Conference.

Laudato Si Panel Discussion: Saturday, September 12, 8:30am – 11:30am

Those "social justice sisters" are getting back on the bus and heading out across the U.S. to support Pope Francis' radical call to change our politics, not just our policies. Like us, they want continued transformation!
