About:

This free app was developed and created by a team of volunteers from "NYC's Gay Catholics and Christians Social Group". The group started as a small "After Sunday Night Mass" meetup discussion group to connect, dine and discuss how that Sunday's homily or recent LGBTQ news applied and impacted our lives as Gay Catholics and Christians.

The small group grew a bit, and today we are over 200. We come from all over the Tri-State area (NY, NJ, & CT); we are Lesbians, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer Catholics and Christians of all ages and many different nationalities, and we are all at different stages of our spiritual search.

The features included here were all features that our team of volunteers wished they had now or had had along their spiritual journey, and our hope is that the app can help 1 person, and that maybe, that 1 person can help 1 other person.

The app is dedicated to Pope Francis, who through his words and questions, has inspired many LGBTQ believers to stay or come back to the table: An Open Table that our Lord Jesus Christ set for ALL of his Children, but a table that a few have tried for a very long time to keep closed to us and our LGBTQ Families
