Open Arms Ministry
Pope Francis:
Archbishop Lori:
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.
