Dear Members and Friends of Dignity/New York,

With the arrival of Advent and the beginning of a new liturgical year, we naturally look back upon the past year. It has been a time of transition for our community. After more than fifteen months away, we cautiously returned to in-person liturgies at St. John’s in June, while also offering a Zoom option. Although slightly different in some ways, our liturgies continue to joyfully celebrate who we are as LGBTQ+ Catholics and allies.

Nominations are open. There are five open slots on the Steering Committee. Dignity/New York members can sign a candidates’ petitions or nominate themselves (link is in the announcements at the end of Sunday Worship Aid). Nominations are open until 7 PM on Thursday, September 16, 2021. Candidates must receive the support of ten currently enrolled members of the chapter to stand for election.

Tonight's Liturgy will be on Zoom only. The rain is expected to be very heavy during the hours of the liturgy. WE expect to resume in-person liturgy with a Zoom broadcast next Sunday.

You can find the link to the Zoom liturgy at the bottom of the website in the Worship Aid or email onlineprayer@dignityny.org. Members and long time attendees to our Zoom liturgy received the link at 1:40 pm this afternoon.

The Steering Committee met via Zoom on July 13 and August 3. Here are some highlights:

Due to the changing health situation, face coverings are once again required for ALL in the church at St. John’s. They are optional outside, such as in the courtyard. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and will conform to all regulations of St. John’s, the Episcopal Diocese, the city, state, and CDC.
