Pride Sunday at MCC
On Sunday, June 7, 2026, St. John the Apostle MCC will celebrate Pride Sunday. Pride is more than a parade, a flag, or a month on the calendar. For many, Pride is the story of learning to live honestly after years of fear, silence, rejection, or shame. It is the quiet but courageous decision to believe that we are not mistakes, not “less than,” and not outside the love of God.
