Acceptance is a faith community existing for five decades, supporting gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (LGBTIQ+) Catholics, their family and friends.

By providing a safe, spiritual and social environment, through Acceptance, many LGBTIQ+ Catholics have found reconciliation with their faith and sexuality.

The celebration of the Sacraments is central to our lives as Catholics. The Eucharist is a focal point of theAcceptance ministry through active participation in a monthly parish Mass.

In addition to this, Acceptance promotes social justice, fellowship and a Catholic identity for LGBTIQ+ Catholics their family and friends

In a time when many homosexual and heterosexual Catholics are turning away from the Church, Acceptance's mission is to affirm the authenticity and dignity of LGBTIQ+ Catholics in our church through liturgy, witness, and fellowship.

    Election of Pope Leo XIV

    Posted by · May 09, 2025 11:26 AM · 1 reaction

     

    Acceptance Sydney gives thanks to God for the election of our new Pontiff, Pope
    Leo XIV, a native of the United States who served the Church for many years in
    Peru. We offer our heartfelt prayers for his ministry and leadership at this pivotal
    moment in the life of the Church.

    We pray that Pope Leo XIV will continue to guide the Church in the spirit of Pope
    Francis—towards a synodal, compassionate, and hope-filled future.

    It is our heartfelt hope that the new Pontiff will carry forward the inclusive vision of his
    predecessor, particularly in affirming and accompanying LGBTQIA+ Catholics with
    dignity, respect, and love.

    As members of the people of God, we look to the future with renewed hope, trusting
    in the Holy Spirit’s work through Pope Leo XIV for a Church that listens, welcomes,
    and serves all.

    We take comfort in the words of the Holy Father, spoken during his first Apostolic
    Blessing this morning from St. Peter’s Basilica:

    “We have to look together at how
    to be a missionary Church—building bridges, engaging in dialogue, always
    ready to receive others with open arms. Like this square, open to all—to all
    who need our charity, our presence, our dialogue, our love.”

    May we be inspired     by his words to live this call.

    May Our Lady, Mother of the Church, accompany and guide our new Holy Father as
    he begins his ministry as the Vicar of Christ.
