What Does the Church Teach About Homosexuality and Same-Sex Marriage?
A presentation for teens and parents by our pastor Father Tom and clinical psychologist Dr. Frank Moncher
Throughout the year, many of our teens have been asking questions and seeking clarity on this topic. Father Tom and Dr. Moncher will explain what the Church teaches and why, as well as answer questions. All teens and adults are invited; simultaneous translation will be provided.
