As the first executive director of Outreach, and with more than a decade of reporting experience, I’ve had an opportunity to learn firsthand about the challenges, joys, hopes, and faithfulness of the LGBT Catholic community. In this workshop, I will talk about how the church benefits from engaging this community, and creating opportunities for dialogue, accompaniment, and compassion.

Michael J. O’Loughlin is the executive director of Outreach, an LGBTQ Catholic ministry.  An award-winning journalist, speaker and author, his 2021 publication, “Hidden Mercy: Catholics, AIDS, and Untold Stories of Compassion in the Face of Fear,” is based on the 2019 podcast series, “Plague: Untold Stories of AIDS and the Catholic Church.  Michael is an avid voice for the marginalized and has given numerous presentations within the United States.
