The Bishop’s Commission on LGBTQ+ Ministries warmly invites the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles community and friends to join us for the Annual LA Pride Parade on Sunday, June 14 at 11:00 a.m.

This year’s LA Pride theme, “Rising with Pride,” calls us to show up with courage, joy, and faith—bearing witness to the Way of Love in the heart of our city.

As a diocese, our presence at Pride is more than participation—it is proclamation. Together, we embody a Church that celebrates, affirms, and stands alongside LGBTQ+ people as beloved children of God. We will gather as an official diocesan parade contingent, offering a visible and faithful witness of inclusion and love.

A Holy Eucharist service will be offered before the parade, with Bishop-elect Rev. Dr. Antonio José Gallardo Lucena grounding our witness in prayer and community.

“Now more than ever, we are called to be visible in our faith in Christ—proclaiming that all of God’s children deserve dignity, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity,” said Thomas Diaz, Chair of the Bishop’s Commission on LGBTQ+ Ministries. “We are called to be bearers of that love, making it known that the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles not only welcomes you, but affirms that all LGBTQ+ people are beloved children of God.”

Registration is required to be part of our diocesan parade contingent.

To sign up as an individual or as a congregation, please email: [email protected]. You will receive a registration link and additional details.
