-Clarification of Thought: An Intro to the Biblical Year of Jubilee
 March 17th - 6:30 PM
 As the Catholic Church proclaims 2025 a Jubilee Year, our friend Matt Hubbard will present on and lead a discussion about the Jubilee Year as described in the Torah and the Wisdom we can gain from it today. What does Jubilee have to say about work and the necessity of rest or debt forgiveness and agriculture?  What lessons might we glean from these ancient texts to help us build a new society in the shell of the old?

 Bring a friend or a dish to share, but most importantly hope to see you there!

-Dorothy Day House Church at the StL CW
April 6th - 4 PM
 We aren't the only ones inspired by Dorothy Day in the St. Louis area! We hope you will join us in welcoming the Dorothy Day House Church as their weekly liturgy visits our house of hospitality. DDHC is a part of the Ecumenical Catholic Communion, a "communion of communities" (St. Ignatius of Antioch) who "offer a refuge in Christ for those who suffer prejudice because of race, color, culture, philosophy, gender, sexual orientation, or educational deprivation." They "experience Catholic communal prayer guided by the wisdom and ways of the spirit of God in the early eucharistic church". Hang around after for soup!

But you can bring a lawn chair or blanket along with your normal dish to share. (Or just come as you are!) We aren’t officially renting a pavilion or picnic site. Instead we're just going to grab a spot and set up some tables somewhere near the Kingshighway entrance to the park. We'll be somewhere west of the New Comfort Station ( here on Google Maps ).
