To any parent who would like help in adjusting to having a LGBT son or daughter – to any child who would like help in telling his/her parent that he/she is a LGBT person – please attend the panel discussion sponsored by our Embracing God’s Gifts ministry. The panel will have as participants gay persons, parents of gay sons/daughters, Deacon Paul Weber and a Professor from Loyola College’s Department of Pastoral Counseling and Spiritual Care.
