What does it mean to be Transgender and Catholic in a Church still learning to grasp the full dignity of trans persons?

Sponsored by the CLGS Catholic Roundtable, this Lavender Lunch panel will bring together Trans Catholic leaders whose lives, faith, and courage are at the heart of the Church and are already shaping the Church’s future. Rather than rehearsing old debates, we look ahead—toward communities where Trans bodies are honored and help shape a Catholic tradition informed by their grace-filled lives.

Panelists will reflect on emerging theological visions, pastoral practices, and spiritual insights borne from Trans wisdom. Together, we explore how trans Catholics are not just included in the Church’s future, but essential to creating it. They are the heart of the Church.
