Pittsburgh, PA
Starting in 2015, Vagabond Missions has been serving the community of Pittsburgh, PA. We are located in four different neighborhoods, Garfield, Sharpsburg, Allentown and the Hill District. Each site is staffed by 3-4 missionaries. Since 2015, we have served over 300 teens and are currently serving over 150 here in Pittsburgh.
We try to partner with our closest neighborhood church, to support the mission and a place for celebrating the Sacraments. Our Garfield Underground is partnered with St. Raphael’s, the Sharpsburg Underground is partnered with St. Juan Diego, the Allentown Underground is partnered with St. Mary of the Mount and the Hill District Underground is partnered with St. Benedict the Moor. We also have a local committee who help us make our mission possible: Jessica Lynch, Deacon Bob Wertz, Sean Hannon, Pam Susi, Tom Gallowitz, and Jordan Cavanaugh.
In 2020, we had 5 teens get baptized into the Catholic Church here in Pittsburgh! In the 2021-2022 mission year, 2 of our former Pittsburgh teens will serve as missionaries, along with 3 other former teens from other cities.

MISSIONARY HOUSING NEEDS
Because a huge part of our ministry is centered around creating authentic relationships and building up community where we are, our missionaries live together to foster faith and fellowship within the mission itself.
