Virginia Diocesan Homes
Virginia Diocesan Homes (VDH) is a nonprofit affiliate of the Diocese of Virginia. Our vision is for the Diocese of Virginia and its parishes to use its property and assets to their fullest potential to serve God and our communities. We do that by maximizing mission opportunities with diocesan property including nurturing home environments.
Please visit the Virginia Diocesan Homes Summit website for national examples of churches who are using their property in service to the community and for the presentations made at the Summit.
