Mass
We provide a safe and sacred space for LGBTIQ+ people to celebrate Mass on the second Friday of every month from 8PM at:
St. Joseph's Catholic Church
30 Fitzgerald Street,
South Yarra, VIC 3141
You do not have to be Catholic to attend. Allies are welcome.
Support the Petition to Count Every LGBTIQ+ Australian in the Census
LGBTIQ+ Australians deserve to be fully counted in the census. The current questions exclude our gender-diverse community, limiting Australia's ability to make informed decisions on healthcare, funding, and other crucial services.
Sign the petition to ensure everyone is seen and represented!
