RESOURCES FOR FAMILIES
Harbor is an online support program for Christian parents of LGBT kids. It's designed to surround parents with the knowledge, resources, and support they need to draw them closer to their children.
Compelled by our broken hearts, seeing families pulled apart, we are dedicated to help reconcile LGBTQ individuals and their families while helping them move closer to Jesus where healing and personal growth occurs.
We provide stellar live, printed and filmed content - for parents, LGBTQ, and those in the church. From intimate retreat gatherings, conferences, parent support groups, one-day workshops and speaking events; to articles, books and study guides; to video messages and conference-length courses for individuals and groups: each conveys a message of lavish love and inclusion.

Love Well is faith-based support for parents and loved ones of LGBTQ individuals based in Orland Park IL , where they can bring their pain and confusion and can process their common experiences together. In this safe and confidential environment, parents begin to recognize that they are not alone, and that God is enough for them...even for this journey. As we look to the example of Jesus, He empowers us to refocus our hearts, and grow in loving our children well, even if we may disagree with their choices.
Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) Catholics and their allies are present in all parts of our Church and should be valued and celebrated as members of the colorful family of God.

We support efforts to create welcoming and healing spaces, amplify the pro-LGBT Catholic voice, advocate for LGBT church workers, parishioners and allies and much more.
