FutureChurch Celebrating 35 years of Spirit-led advocacy, prophetic witness, and courageous action to build a more just and inclusive church!

Our Vision: FutureChurch works for:

* Just, open and collaborative structures for Catholic worship, organization and governance.

* A return to the Church’s early tradition of both married and celibate priests.

* A return to the Church’s earliest tradition, modeled on the inclusive practice of Jesus, of recognizing both female and male leaders of faith communities.

* Regular access to the Eucharist, the center of Catholic life and worship, for all Catholics. Guiding Principle: Future Church's activities grow from a spirituality based on the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Eucharist, the Spirit-filled beliefs of the faithful, and the teachings of Vatican II.

We’re celebrating 10 years of Catholic Women Preach—and you’re invited! 💛

Join FutureChurch on All Saints Day for a Virtual Preaching Slam featuring Kayla August, Ann Garrido, Cecilia González-Andrieu, and Kerry Alys Robinson.

We’ll gather for a Liturgy of the Word with music, prayer, and preaching as each preacher reflects on the day’s readings and lifts up a woman saint of her choosing.

Come celebrate a decade of women sharing their wisdom, proclaiming the Gospel, and reminding us how much we have to learn when we make room for their voices.

🍂 FutureChurch’s Annual Fall Event is only three weeks away! 🍂

We’re continuing our introduction to this year’s program with Night Two — Tuesday, October 27 at 7pm ET.

✨ Celebrating Catholic Leaders Who Are Building a More Just Church and World ✨

Night Two is all about honoring the people who are already doing the thing!

We’re thrilled to present the 2026 Louis J. Trivison Award to Joanna Arellano-Gonzalez for her leadership in organizing for justice, her work with the Coalition for Spiritual and Public Leadership, and her unwavering commitment to migrants and to justice within the Church.

We’ll also celebrate three incredible young Catholic leaders — Mollie Clark, AnnaMarie Pacione, and Lauryn Sweeney — with the 2026 Christine Schenk Award for Young Catholic Leaders for their founding leadership of Fordham’s Catholic Women Speak conference and their work creating space for the voices and leadership of a new generation.

These leaders remind us that the future of the church is already being built — through organizing, accompaniment, courage, creativity, and hope. ❤️

And that’s Night Two! 👀 Meet our award recipients below, and buy your tickets now!

🍂 FutureChurch’s Annual Fall Event is just a few weeks away! 🍂

We’re excited to introduce you to each night of this year’s program. First up: Night One — Thursday, October 22 at 7pm ET.

✨ What Is Ours To Do? ✨

We’re bringing together Daryl Grigsby, Gabriel Lara, Angela Howard McParland, and Bishop John Stowe, OFM Conv. for a keynote panel exploring a question that feels especially urgent right now:

In a time of deep division, injustice, and violence, what is ours to do?

Grounded in the Gospel and Catholic Social Teaching, our panel will explore what it means for the People of God—with all our different gifts, roles, and commitments—to respond to the signs of our times with courage, conviction, and care for the common good.

And this is just Night One! 👀 Meet the panelists below, and buy your tickets now!

🏳️‍🌈 **40 years later, we’re still talking about the “Halloween Letter.”**

On October 30, 1986, the Vatican released its *Letter on the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons* — a document that profoundly shaped the lives of LGBTQ+ Catholics and the history of the Church.

This fall, DignityUSA is hosting a four-part conversation series exploring the immediate and ongoing impact of the letter, including its impact on Dignity and its chapters.

FutureChurch is proud to cosponsor this important series alongside DignityUSA and other LGBTQ+ Catholic and theological organizations.

📅 Sept. 29 — The Immediate Impact
📅 Oct. 13 — Impact on Dignity & Chapters, Part 1
📅 Oct. 27 — Impact on Dignity & Chapters, Part 2
📅 Nov. 10— The Ongoing Impact

All sessions: 8 PM ET / 5 PM PT

Come listen, learn, remember, and reflect on 40 years of Q***r Catholic history. 🏳️‍🌈

Register through DignityUSA and join for as many sessions as you can!

Yesterday at St. Joseph Spiritual Ministries, we gathered for our Boston Preaching Slam—and what an amazing afternoon it was! 💛

It was a gift to hear four perspectives on one reading: the story of Martha and Mary. Each homily offered a unique insight, yet a beautiful unifying message emerged: God sees us.

Thank you to Crista, Lynn, Kelly, and Calista for sharing your wisdom and preaching so beautifully; to Julia for presiding with such care; and to everyone who joined us and helped make the gathering so meaningful.

Here’s to more women at the pulpit and more afternoons like this one! ✨ Happy 10 years, Catholic Women Preach

✨ What is ours to do?

In a time of deep division, injustice, and violence, this question feels more urgent than ever.

Join FutureChurch for our 36th Annual Fall Event: Catholics for the Common Good on October 22 & 27 at 7pm ET on Zoom. We’ll gather with Catholic leaders, organizers, and young voices to reflect on how our faith calls us to respond—with courage, conviction, and care for one another and our common home.

Plus, we’ll celebrate the incredible leaders receiving this year’s Louis J. Trivison Award and Christine Schenk Award for Young Catholic Leaders. 💙

Two nights. One big question: What is ours to do?
