Annapolis Pride

People at an outdoor pride event wearing colorful tie-dye shirts. A booth with a Love is Love sign displays rainbow items. Multicolored flags and banners adorn the area. The scene is bright and lively, filled with attendees enjoying the event.

St. Matthew’s participated in the 2023 and 2024 Annapolis PRIDE Parade and Festival. We were so excited to be there and show our support for the community.  These two days were so special to us because we got to speak to every person who visited our booth. The amount of love shared with all of us was overwhelming.  We can’t wait to participate in Annapolis PRIDE in 2025, rescheduled for Saturday, October 18 (see July 2025 Circuit Rider, page 7 ). Join us!
