A collaboration between all three Episcopal parishes in the Coachella Valley, who will be marching together for the first time in the Palm Springs Pride Parade, will kick off Saturday evening with a special mass. During the mass, reverends from The Church of St. Paul in the Desert will be officiating the wedding of two St. Paul’s parishioners.

All are invited to celebrate The Episcopal Church’s proud stance in support of LGBTQ+ people of faith. In a world where religious fundamentalism is on the rise, this is a powerful expression of how faith can be an instrument of good and healing in the world instead of being used as a weapon for hate.
