To show the love of Christ to all, just as He did and as He desires to do now through his Church, the Diocese of Metuchen offers ministries for people with a homosexual orientation and their families. These individuals are often rejected or feel rejected and it is important that we express our concern and provide spiritual guidance. These ministries include:

who are striving to live in accordance with the teachings of the church. |
