Do You Love Discussing Catholic LGBT Issues? Come Meet Others Like You!
This summer, there will be several opportunities to meet with Bondings 2.0 staff members and other readers in various parts of the U.S.–and even one opportunity in the UK.

What’s with the bias you have against the West Coast? San Francisco is very Catholic and very gay.
We’d be glad to come out there! Let us know what would be a good opprotunity for us. The meetups listed in this post are all connnected to other events for which we will already be traveling.
If you come to Philly I’ll be there!
We’d love to come to Philly for an event! If there’s something happening in that city that we are involved with — a talk, retreat, conference — we will organize a meetup to coincide with it. If you know of an event that we should be participating in, please let us know.
For anyone that wants a Bondings 2.0 meetup in your area, please contact us at [email protected]
I hope one of thee days to see a member of New Ways Ministry in L.A. . As you probably know, the Los Angeles diocese has the largest Catholic membership in the USA (and in all likelihood the largest LGBT)
