Comunidad 

Lesbian and Gay Ministry at St. Matthew’s Church, Long Beach, CA


Stations of the Cross & Lenten Soup Supper


Tuesday, April 1 at 7:00 pm in St. Matthew’s Church 672 Temple Ave, Long Beach

Join Comunidad for a prayerful evening as we walk with Christ through the Stations of the Cross, reflecting on His Passion through a contemporary lens that speaks to the lived experiences of the LGBTQIA+ community. Each station will connect Christ’s suffering to the challenges, resilience, and hope of those seeking faith, justice, and belonging. Following the service, we will gather for a simple Lenten Soup Supper, sharing in faith and fellowship as we journey together in love and solidarity. All are welcome—bring a friend as we deepen our faith and prepare our hearts for Easter.

Please Consider Giving to Our Annual Appeal


Comunidad has begun its Annual Appeal and we ask our members to help support our ministry, both financially and with prayer. At this moment, the principles of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are being challenged, and it’s important for us to remember the voices that have paved the way. Activists like Marsha P. Johnson, Harvey Milk, and Barbara Gettings helped bring LGBTQIA+ rights to the forefront. Similarly, Comunidad has been blessed with passionate advocates like Marilyn Pires and David Kennedy, who worked tirelessly for our rights. The Appeal helps support events like Long Beach Pride, the annual Pride Mass, monthly meetings and other community events. Our Annual Appeals Letter contains all the information needed to donate. Any support you can give is greatly appreciated. God Bless!

We’ve got other upcoming events, too!
