Boston, Mass., Jun 22, 2023 / 12:25 pm A Catholic parish in New York City that planned to have a “Pride Mass” on Thursday at a federal monument with sculptures of two same-sex couples and groups of gay and transgender pride flags has announced a change of location.
The Church of St. Paul the Apostle said in a Wednesday email to parishioners that the National Parks Service informed it that the Stonewall National Monument, which commemorates a June 1969 LGBT uprising against a police raid, “will not be open to the public tomorrow due to concerns over the security of events in the area.”
“Because of this, we will not have access to the park to celebrate our annual Pride Mass scheduled for tomorrow,” the church said in its email.
The Mass will still be held at the Church of St. Paul the Apostle at 6:30 p.m., the email said.
CNA called the Stonewall National Monument to inquire about the security concerns but was unable to reach anyone.
The change of venue comes amid criticism against the parish for its decision to hold a “Pride Mass” and for its choice of location, with some calling it “blasphemous.”

Catholic parish, my a**
They kind of figured out they can’t push any farther for a while.
Francis will out himself in 3, 2...
They should be more concerned that a meteorite might have been coming their way
(just kidding, mostly)
Tactical retreat.
Oh, and....
Tagline.
...or lightning. Not kidding at all.
Why do we have a national monument for fags?
“...at a federal monument with sculptures of two same-sex couples.”
Just moving the event away from metal sculptures doesn’t guarantee that lightening still won’t strike the gathering.
Yeah
