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.

Thank You to the Prayer Shawl Ministry!

The Appalachian Twinning Ministry (ATM) extends their sincerest appreciation 

to the Prayer Shawl Ministry for their generous donation of 

69 beautifully handcrafted stocking caps.

These cozy caps were delivered to Holy Family Parish last month, providing warmth and comfort to those in need during these colder months. A special thank you to Will Langley for personally delivering the caps, ensuring that they reached their destination in time to bring comfort and warmth to our brothers and sisters in Appalachia. 
 
ATM is thankful to be part of a kind and compassionate community!
