The research analyzed the moral justice of members of the LGBTQ+ in the light of three Theological Virtues: Faith, Hope, and Charity in the Philippine Society. Mixed method of research was used for 600 respondents: students, parents of the University of Perpetual Help System-Las Pinas campus, and religious members of different congregations.

The results of the study showed that most of the respondents, including the members of different congregations, were personally cognizant and accepting of the members of the LGBTQ+. Likewise, most of them believed that the members of the LGBTQ+ must be loved, cared, and cherished to be models and leaders of the faith-community. On the issue of faith and morals of the members of the LGBTQ+, the study established that most of the participants agreed to get into a civil union, instead of getting into a Sacrament of Marriage, which is a sacred union of men and women only, and not for the same sex marriage. The data source also showed that most of them believed and allowed that members of the LGBTQ+ must also lead and help to build faith-community in accordance with Christian Morality.

After the findings in this study, it is recommended that a faith community must create a Physical, Mental, and Spiritual Health Program in all colleges and universities to build strong faith and morals with social justice among members of the faith-community.
