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 prayer to bring our joys and concerns to the creator and the community and on the last Sunday (Feb 23rd) at 5 PM we'll come together to break bread at our monthly potluck. Both will be at our home at 8617 Mora Ln.

-Are you a slow or busy reader like us? Want to get a head start on a future StL CW clarification of thought book club book? We'll be reading A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers for a date to be determined in March (or maybe April).

-We're only halfway through January and it's already been a long, cold month. We're continually awed by and grateful for the network of volunteers around our city who carry the work of protecting the most vulnerable people from the dangerous temperatures we've experienced lately. The sustained cold has been straining the stamina of the all volunteer Winter Outreach network we work closely with. If you've yet to plug in with Winter Outreach, please consider signing up to help with their street outreach efforts. You can find out more info on their website. While you might catch us going out with WO on any given night, we are the coordinators on Monday evenings if you'd like to come when we're most likely to be there.

Hope to see you soon!

Racial History Tour of Calvary Cemetery + Prayer to Protect Oak Flat

Racial History Tour of Calvary Cemetery 1:00 pm Sunday, October 19 As we approach All Souls Day and Black Catholic History Month, learn about the racial history of Catholic St. Louis by joining us for a tour of Calvary Cemetery. Guided by our friend Dr. Kelly Schmidt (possibly with assistance from Jada Bell and Jeff Harrison), we will visit the burial sites of people whose lives and experiences are significant in shaping the racial history of our church, city, and civil society. The tour will involve standing and some walking over the cemetery’s grassy slopes. Access to restrooms is limited to the Mausoleum (near the cemetery entrance), which we will only be near at the start and end of the tour. Please use the restroom in advance and prepare accordingly. All are invited to join us at the STL Catholic Worker Community house afterwards for soup and post-tour discussion.  The tour will begin promptly at 1:00 pm. Participants have the option to travel between stops either by bike or b...

A Christmas Appeal from The STL Catholic Worker

  A Christmas Appeal from The STL Catholic Worker “It is no use to say that we are born two thousand years too late to give room to Christ. Nor will those who live at the end of the world have been born too late. Christ is always with us, always asking for room in our hearts. He said that a glass of water given to a beggar was given to Him. He made heaven hinge on the way we act towards Him in his disguise of commonplace, frail and ordinary human beings. And to those who say, aghast, that they never had a chance to do such a thing, that they lived two thousand years too late, he will say again what they had the chance of knowing all their lives, that if these things were done for the very least of his brethren they were done for Him. They are Christ, asking us to find room for Him exactly as He did at the first Christmas.” - Dorothy Day “They evicted us from that abandoned building,” Brett told me as I handed him a couple burritos. “We didn’t know they were coming. I was away and t...
