WELCOME HOME: Catholic Service-Retreats in Appalachia

Bethlehem Farm is a Catholic faith-based volunteer community in Appalachia offering week-long service retreats for high school and college groups, summer volunteer opportunities, and longer-term volunteer positions. We serve our rural neighbors through hands-on home repair projects and lending a hand to farmers and the local food system. We teach sustainable living practices and care for creation. We invite volunteers to join us in living the Gospel cornerstones of service, prayer, simplicity, and community.

In the spirit of the Gospel, Christian unity, and the cornerstones, Bethlehem Farm provides a warm “welcome home” and services to anyone regardless of age, race, color, ethnicity, nationality, gender, religion, political affiliation, income, marital status, familial status, physical ability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, & military status.
