Your Excellency,

We, the faithful Catholics of the Lexington Diocese, humbly petition you to reconsider and cancel the event titled “A Conversation With and About Transgender Persons,” scheduled to take place at Historic St. Paul Catholic Church on April 7, 2025.

We stand united with Pope Francis in affirming the principles of Dignitas Infinitus, which calls us to respect and protect the inherent dignity of every human being as created by God. As the Holy Father has taught, we are to embrace and uphold our humanity with reverence.

In this Lenten season, a time for reflection, repentance, and strengthening our faith, we ask that this event be halted out of love for our Christian brothers and sisters, for the teachings of the Holy Mother Church, and for our Blessed Lord.

With respect and devotion, we humbly urge you to act in accordance with these principles.
