Drop gay stories or bring gay topic into conversation over a few days. Don't over do it. Just be natural. Meanwhile talk to a friend and practise how you are gonna tell them. Get the support of a helping society. Then tell the closest member of the family. With his/her help, break it gently to the rest. If an only child get a Friend along with you. Never do it alone. Be frank. Then say you are going for a walk and leave for half hour or so. Give them time to sink it in. Then come back and talk it over with them. If they are upset..understandable. Tell them you have nothing against the religion. Don't panick or over-react. Take it easy. Good luck.

I know how you are feeling, and I have the exact same problem.
PM me and we can exchange ideas and come up with a conclusion lol.
anyways, I made a spiral saying I was gay, and all kinds of info, but I trashed it. I think I will tell them when I am independent, and don't live there. Maybe you shoudlt oo lol. That way it won't be so ackward for liek a month. Anyways, I plan on doing it by either phone, e-mail, or write a letter if I do it at all.
Good luck, and if it doesn't work, PFLAG is always there.

Simple. You tell them that unfortunately nature makes mistakes and that you are one of them. That I can personally accept. What I cannot accept is the hedonistic, non-genetic, homosexual. That person is a pervert. If you are of the first type then I can find a small degree of sympathy but the latter should be dealt with only by physical or chemical castration. Goes without saying that this would apply to either sex.

Pray for yourself and your family. Be honest and up front. Trust in their love for you. Many gay Catholics have faced the same challenge.
Remember the Catholic Church believes there is nothing sinful about being homosexual. But homosexuals like all unmarried people are called to celibacy.
The Church specifically says, "They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided."
With love in Christ.

Tell them you have something to tell them. Then tell them you are terminally ill. Let them cry for a while. Then tell them you are only joking , what you have to tell them is just that you are gay.
That should kinda put it in perspective for them.
If you cannot bring yourself to do this, and catholiscism is the issue then I suggest you take advice from a gay catholic support network. They can give an alternative perspective to that peddled by the Pope
Good luck

My mother is very catholic. My sister is lesbian. It took her till 30 before she came out. I think my mother somehow knew and got used to the idea by then. Not much of a life but you could move away and maybe return one day. Good luck

Carefully.
Preferably gently get them used 2 the idea by saying U need 2 talk.
But not yet!
Gives U time & them.
Like any parent they'll want U 2 spit out what your problem/worry is & get on with it.
If UR unhappy they should know by now.

Easy just say - Mom dad, I've got some bad news - I've got a brain tumour and I've only got 6 months to live - when they get over the shock - say "surprise" I am only kidding I'm gay!

pray before telling them, or if you really can't face it tell somebody else to tell your parents tho if I was you I would not do the latter as it's better to face up to your problems then hide from them but I am sure your parents love you for who and what you are so good luck
