Quest

” Quest exists to provide pastoral support to lesbian, gay and transgender Catholics.”
Supported by a network of local groups, each with its own flavour Quest offers opportunities for fellowship, friendship and support. Local groups are open to like minded people of faith and participation isn’t dependent on membership of (national) Quest. Quest runs an annual conference open to all. Visit the website for more information and to follow the Quest blog.

Quest provides information and opportunities for worship, spiritual retreats and supportive fellowship through our local groups.
Through our meetings with local bishops and other Catholic leaders, we promote LGBT inclusion in the life of the Church.
We also meet with other LGBT groups to promote a more rounded understanding of faith, and the possibility of one being both Catholic and openly LGBT.
More information about the local Quest group can be found on their page of the Quest website: http://questlgbti.uk/local-groups/east-midlands/
To get in touch with Quest East Midlands email the local group at: eastmidlands@questlgbti.uk
