Title
Fr. Leo reading with view of vestments
Description
Father Leo M. Joseph proclaims the Eucharistic prayers vested in an ornate chasuble embroidered with the Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) and Eucharistic symbols. The richly decorated vestments, many designed by Father Leo, expressed the Church of the Beloved Disciple's conviction that the dignity and beauty of Catholic worship belonged fully within an LGBTQ-affirming community. This close view highlights the church's careful preservation of traditional liturgical artistry alongside its pioneering ministry of inclusion.
