Quest

Celebrating 50 years of service in 2023, Quest continues to offer fellowship to LGBT+ Catholics by providing information on this website and through our member bulletin and social media. We also run an annual conference on topics relating to our experience as LGBT+ Catholics (for information about past conferences click here.) And throughout the year we have opportunities for worship, spiritual retreats and supportive community focused activity through our regional groups.

Participation in the activities of regional Quest groups and attendance at conference does not require membership of Quest. However, as a member of Quest you contribute to our work within our Church and wider society.

We are a volunteer run organisation. We hold regular pilgrimages and retreats as well as the annual weekend conference referred to above.

We have volunteers who assist at conference for example: preparing the liturgy, supporting with music, organising social activities over the weekend, meeting and greeting delegates and offering general assistance to the Conference Organiser. Our annual conference takes place at a different venue each year. Volunteers for this activity need to be available to work with the Conference Organiser a month before the conference which is usually held in July/August. A cheerful disposition and patience and stamina are essential qualities that are required for this work. As our members are adults, many of a mature age, a DBS is not required. Ideally successful candidates should be 21+ in age.
