StL CW December Updates!

Merry Christmas friends!

If you haven't already heard, our biggest news is that we've started raising money to purchase a house for Catholic Worker hospitality in the St. Louis area. You can read our longer appeal here or in our newsletter linked below.

If you're in a place to make a financial gift to help us on a down payment please send checks made out to the "STL Catholic Worker Community" c/o Sophia House 4547 Gibson Ave. St. Louis, MO 63110. We've also set up a GoFundMe.

Our humble zine, In The Shell of The Old issue #2 was sent out recently. We decided to do a big one time snail mailing to local people from the Karen House mailing list, something like 1,300 people. While it took a little while and cost a little bit, we've already made some new friends from the effort and hope the trend continues. You can email us if you want a physical copy sent to your doorstep!

Oh no! We've heard from a couple of our friends that our emails have been going to spam. Please check to see that we aren't being relegated to your spam folder. If you're still not seeing our notes in there or you're new, please shoot us an email to get on our list: StLouisCatholicWorker@gmail.com

The spam debacle meant some folks missed word of our Christmas party, which is a downer. If you weren't able to make it this time for hot cocoa and Christmas songs, hopefully you'll be there for our discussion of Pope Francis’s recent document Laudate Deum hosted by our friend Matt on January 7th at the Hubbard family home 3704 St. Ann’s Ln 63121.

Thanks for all your love and support!

fundraiser and more at the STL Catholic Worker Community in February

We will NOT be having our regular 'last Sunday of the month' potluck this January . Instead, everyone is invited on Sunday, February 2nd to a Catholic Worker fundraiser to celebrate Theo's 35th birthday and his 15th anniversary of coming to the CW movement! Just like last year, a suggested (though never required) donation of 10$ gets you in the door for some pizza, beer, and Jarritos and we'll have items for raffle and auction too! We'll be getting together at 5 PM at 8617 Mora Ln. If you think you'll probably make it, send us a soft RSVP via text (‪314-474-5506‬) or email ( StLouisCatholicWorker@gmail.com ) so we can guess-timate how many pizzas to get. But don't sweat it if you decide to come last minute, we'll order extra and if there's leftovers we'll share from our excess with those lacking in pizza! -Mark your calendars for our regular events in February. On the second Wednesday (12th) at 6 PM we will come together in pr...
