Queer Conversations:

Chosen Family Gathering & 
Family Dinner Potluck


SUNDAY, MAY 3

5:30 P.M., following Evensong

in Leffler Living Room


Join us for an evening celebrating the sacred gift of chosen family — the people who have claimed us, held us, and helped us become who we are. We’ll honor the communities of care we intentionally build, share stories of the kin who sustain us, and enjoy a relaxed family dinner potluck together.


If you’d like, you’re warmly invited to bring a dish to share, but it’s absolutely not required. Your presence — and your belonging — are the heart of the table.


All are welcome as we gather for connection, reflection, and a celebration of the families we choose in love.


Those in attendance can pick up some amazing Episcopal Pride swag: iron-on patch, lapel pin and stickers!

Seeking Volunteers!

Pride 2026

Saturday June 27, 2026

Pride season is almost here, and Saint Mark's is showing up in full color.


We’ll be hosting a booth at Capitol Hill PrideFest and welcoming folks to Quiet Pride at the Cathedral — two very different vibes, both equally beautiful.


To make it all happen, we need a few wonderful humans willing to lend a little time, a little presence, and maybe a little sparkle.


Here’s what we’re looking for:

  • Friendly faces to greet visitors at the PrideFest booth
  • Folks to help share information about Saint Mark’s inclusive ministries
  • Volunteers to support the peaceful, reflective atmosphere of Quiet Pride
  • Anyone who enjoys community, connection, and celebrating LGBTQ+ joy


Whether you’re outgoing, contemplative, or somewhere in between, there’s a place for you. Even an hour makes a difference.


If you’re able to help, please email your QuiC Ministry Leads with your availability and which event you’d like to support.


Thanks for being part of a community that shows up with love — loudly, quietly, and everything in between...
