The Appalachian Twinning Ministry (ATM) strives to support low income and poverty level families in Southwest Virginia, helping them meet basic needs. Our nutritional focus helps families who struggle to feed their primary school age children. We collaborate and support food banks and the Backpack Programs in Tazewell and Buchanan Counties.
 

Holy Family Parish Bulletins and ATM Meeting Minutes have been moved.  Please see the subpages labeled "Holy Family Parish Bulletins" and "Meeting Minutes" under this page to access these documents!

The Appalachian Twinning Ministry, commonly known as ATM, works closely with four specific parishes, within Holy Family Parish in southwest Virginia. They are a constant Catholic presence, and the ministry stands with our brothers and sisters of the Appalachian Region of Virginia, providing many types of outreach activities and services.

 Holy Family Parish Spring Mass & Picnic
Holy Family Parish's Spring Mass and Picnic, hosted by St. Elizabeth in Pocahontas, took place on Sunday, May 21st!  The day began with 10:00am Mass at St. Elizabeth's and continued with a picnic brunch buffet at the Fincastle Country Club in Bluefield, VA.  A few St. Michael parishioners attended (Paul and Kathy Smith and Will Langley - not pictured), all four churches of Holy Family Parish were represented, and by God's grace, HFP enjoyed a great turnout!
