Steubenville was our first missionary location. It is one of the poorest cities in Ohio riddled with poverty, drugs, and gang violence. Dirty Vagabond started here almost 10 years ago and since our missionaries have brought Christ to the most desolate places. Over 50 teens have been baptized here and come into the Church. The streets are being transformed here through the mercy and the power of God. Through Outreach, Bible Studies, R.C.I.A., and meals we encounter upwards of 100 teens a week.
We are partnering with donors in the local community with a vision to reach the poor and the forgotten in their city. Greenville is a city that is economically divided and it is home to some very poor, hurting people. Our missionaries are stationed in the heart of the brokenness. Slowly, light is breaking through the darkness in these neighborhoods. Our missionaries work tirelessly to bring the Gospel to the where kids are – whether that be the streets, the schools, or the projects.
At the invitation of Bishop Zubik, Dirty Vagabond opened its doors in 2015 in Pittsburgh. Parterning with St. Maria Goretti Parish, DVM will be serving the Garfield/ Bloomfield neighborhoods. With the support of the Diocese and the compassion of the local Church, God is moving in a big way here.
We are excited to be launching a second location in Sharpsburg as well in 2017.
"AND THE WORD BECAME FLESH AND DWELT AMONG THEM"
IT'S TIME
TO STOP WAITING FOR THE LOST TO COME TO US.
We must go to them.
WE BELIEVE IN SOLIDARITY, RELATIONSHIP
AND MISSIONARY ZEAL.
These are the building blocks of hope.
WE INTRODUCE INNER-CITY KIDS TO JESUS BY BECOMING A PART OF THEIR WORLD.
Dirty Vagabond is all about transformation.

WHERE WE SERVE
With the Blessing of Bishop Kemme, we are working with donors and community members to take the Gospel to the streets of Wichita, KS through Dirty Vagabond Ministries. Like many cities, Wichita has many areas of poverty spread throughout its boundaries. We will be reaching out to teens on the north side of the city where we will be working alongside of St. Patrick's Parish. We can't wait to see what God has in store. Please pray for our city.
