Links to Other SAM Ministries
SAM founder and director, Erik Vagenius, came up with the idea for the diocesan ministry based in parishes after his retirement to Palm Beach Gardens in 1994 from Rochester, Minnesota, where he was director of Guest House, a nonprofit residential treatment facility.
SAM was launched July 1998, with one team at St. Paul of the Cross Parish in North Palm Beach. Today the ministry has grown to multiple teams and is now a national model for diocesan ministries. Here is a link to SAM Palm Beach FL
