PRAYER FOR BLESSING CHALK

Jesus, through your Incarnation and birth in true human form, you have made all the earthy holy. We now ask your blessing upon this simple gift of your creation – chalk. We use it as a tool to teach our children, and they use it as a tool in their play and games. Now, with your blessing, may it become a tool for us to mark the doors of our home with the symbols of your wise servants who, so long ago, came to worship and adore you in your first home.

Dear Members and Friends of Dignity/New York,

Happy Pride! As we look back over the past year, we have much to be proud of, from our 50th anniversary celebrations to our progressive, inclusive liturgies in person and online, our warm and welcoming community, and our many social and outreach activities. We continue to be a unique community of LGBTQI+ people and allies within the Roman Catholic tradition, where we can speak our truth without fear and be our whole selves.

Celebrate Queens Pride on Sunday June 4th at 12pm  as we parade down 37th Avenue (from 89th Street to 75th Street) in Jackson Heights, followed by a multicultural festival. Since 1993, Queens Pride continues to promote the visibility and accomplishments of the LGBT community and to foster acceptance by the many cultures and religions represented in our borough.  2023 marks the 30th year of the parade!
