The Advocates of Saint Sebastian is a religious society, of apostolic life, in the independent Catholic tradition committed to the formation of competent ministers for service in progressive Catholic communities, the provision of professional spiritual care, serving in contextually relational pastoral-service to LGBTQIA+ persons, working with minority communities through immigration assistance programs, providing holistic healthcare through staffing licensed professionals and community grants to entities who encourage healthy spirituality and provide for community growth.
We are committed to an on-going formation process that begins with a solid theological foundation built on liberation and queer theologies designed as an umbrella term for transgressive action which erases boundaries.
Our approach to spiritual care is centered on people and their families (constructed or otherwise) delivered by ministers trained in clinical pastoral education through professional de-centered holistic means.
