St. Joseph Pridefest
The Diocese of West Missouri will be joining the St. Joseph Pridefest for a two-day celebration of the LGBTQIA+ community on June 26 and 27. So whether you want to join us for the parade, or just stop by our booth, we welcome all to participate!
Pride Parade
The pride parade will begin at 2 p.m. on Saturday at Civic Center Park in St. Joseph, Missouri. Following the march, booths and vendors will be open, so stop by our booth and say hello!

Volunteering for Pride
We need volunteers to hand out literature, SWAG, and most importantly share God’s love with all we encounter. Click the sign-up genius below or on the LGTBQIA+ ministries page to volunteer. If you have any questions, please contact the Rev. Robin Rusconi at robinrusconi@yahoo.com.
