Celebrating 33 Years of Ministry in the LGBT  Catholic Community!

"Spirituality on the Margins"

A retreat for lgbt persons, parents, and pastoral ministers

Born in Lancaster, England, Edwina Gateley has followed the call of God in her life by teaching in Africa, founding the Volunteer Missionary Movement, sojourning into the Sahara Desert, and spending nine months of prayer in a trailer in the woods. In 1983, she spent over a year on the streets of Chicago walking with the homeless and women involved in prostitution, after which she founded Genesis House, a house of hospitality for women involved in prostitution.

Numerous groups and individuals, including the late Cardinal Joseph Bernardin and former U.S. President, Bill Clinton, have publicly commended Edwina's work and ministry. Edwina has been featured on CBS's 60 Minutes and 48 Hours.

Edwina has a Masters in Theology from the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago and is certified as an HIV Counselor in Illinois. She is a poet, artist, writer, lay minister, and single mom. She currently gives talks, conferences and retreats in the USA, Canada, Britain, and Ireland.
