June's House Blessing and Fundraiser Concert!

Join us on June 7 at 7PM for a backyard fundraiser concert organized by our friend Sue! Grab some snacks, drinks and a few bucks to give to the STL Catholic Worker Community and make your way to 2811 Wakonda Dr. 63121. Everyone's welcome and no one is turned away because of lack of funds!

Come by our new house of hospitality on June 15 for our first potluck in our new home! We'll have a short (15 minute-ish) house blessing at 2 followed by food and friends.

Can't make it at 2? Come by before 4 for a quick house tour.

I know someone with nowhere to stay.” “I wish the Catholic Worker in St. Louis was up and running, I’m aware of a mother and daughter in need of housing for a few nights.” Ever since we announced our plans to open a new Catholic Worker house in the St. Louis area we’ve received inquiries like these. We live in a world where a handful of billionaires control as much wealth as 4 billion people and so people go without housing, without food and water, without healthcare. People die. In our own city those without housing have slept on the very doorstep of city hall, until they were unceremoniously evicted. Our city go...
