GET TO KNOW US

Over 75% of inner-city teens have no connection to a church community. Many face poverty, violence, and gang influence, creating barriers to faith. Without intervention, many are left without hope, direction, or a relationship with Christ.

But when young people encounter Jesus, their lives change. At Vagabond Missions, we connect inner-city communities with Jesus and His Church.

BE A PART OF
THE MISSION

Vagabond Missions fosters belonging in a community bound together by Jesus where everyone is known, needed, and a part of something bigger. Families from inner-city communities belong in the Body of Christ, and the Catholic Church belongs to them. With Vagabond, you’ll go on mission and build community in these neighborhoods that are starving for faith, love, and belonging.

“I PREFER A CHURCH WHICH IS BRUISED, HURTING AND DIRTY BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN OUT ON THE STREETS … RATHER THAN A CHURCH WHICH IS UNHEALTHY FROM BEING CONFINED AND FROM CLINGING TO ITS OWN SECURITY.”

POPE FRANCIS
EVANGELII GAUDIUM, 49
