My family and I will be moving to Fredericksburg the weekend of the 23rd. My wife and I were brought up in the Catholic Church, but felt abandoned by what we considered to be our home, and do not want to raise our children in an environment that makes them feel like they aren’t good enough based on the fact that they have gay parents. They have been through more in their short little lives than most adults, and as their parent it is my responsibility to bring them up loving and knowing the love of the Lord. I have been praying about it for quite some time, and I feel called to the Episcopal Church. I want them to have the deep, personal relationship I have always had with God. I just pray that my family will be accepted.
Welcome to Fredericksburg, Jillian! You are absolutely welcome here and we look forward to meeting you and your family! God Bless. –Helen Mosher, Communications Coordinator
