Open Arms Ministry

How can I get involved?
Open Arms is a group of family members, allies, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. Working with the Archdiocese of Baltimore and the parish clergy, we seek to be a safe space where people can, if they choose, honestly and safely share their stories while confirming and respecting the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.
Meetings are at Church of the Resurrection and are usually the 4th Thursday of the month at 7:00pm in the Shehan Pastoral Center Conference Room.
