Creating a New Path Forward For Those in Need of One

The Open Road Apostolic Ministry is a Catholic organization dedicated to preserving the inherent worth and dignity of all people in the Appalachian region of the United States. This includes three of the most marginalized groups in the United States - the homeless, the unborn, and those affected by natural disasters. In our Catholic Faith, we are called to serve those in need, using the gifts bestowed upon us by the Holy Spirit. We call ourselves the Open Road Apostolic Ministry because we wish to provide a path forward for those who might not otherwise have one. We do this work with the aid of the Church, rescue missions, food pantries, homeless shelters, and our Lord Jesus Christ, our higher authority.
