Dignity/Chicago

In Easter’s light, we are reminded that no darkness—rejection, pain, or exclusion—has the final word. For us at Dignity/Chicago, this truth is deeply personal. The risen Christ still bears His wounds, transformed, showing us that our own stories, too, can become places of grace. You are not forgotten or forsaken—you are beloved, created in dignity, and held in God’s enduring love.

The Resurrection calls us not only to receive this light, but to share it. In every act of compassion, every step taken in authenticity, and every effort to build a more welcoming Church and world, we carry Christ’s love forward.

May this Easter fill you with hope and courage, so that through you, others may come to see that love is stronger than death, and light will always rise.

Mary Donnelly, President

Dignity/Chicago

Dignity/Chicago has ministered to LGBTQI Catholics and our allies in the Chicago area since 1972. We serve the community through worship, spiritual education, and social justice action.

As one of many chapters within DignityUSA, we—along with our chapters and Catholic organizations around the world—are deeply committed to justice, equality, and the full inclusion of LGBTQ+ people in our church and society. We firmly believe that every person is beloved by God and possesses equal dignity. We will continue this work until these goals are fully realized.

Join us for Mass on the 1st and 4th Sundays of the month at 5:00 p.m., in-person at Broadway United Methodist Church, 3338 N. Broadway in Chicago. To join us via Teams, send a request to: DignityChicago@gmail.com.
