defend Weelaunee forest roundtable postponed!!!

Oh no!

We had a miscommunication and there’s been a subsequent double booking of the venue for Sunday's roundtable!

We're postponing this weekend's get-together and instead meeting on October 29th at 5:30 for our potluck and round table discussion about the resistance to the destruction of Weelaunee forest for that multi-million dollar “Cop City” project. Chrissy, Lindsey, and Theo will be joining other midwest Catholic Workers to travel to Atlanta in mid-November to take part in a weekend of actions organized by blockcopcity.org . We’ll still gather at Stomp the World (6815 Gravois Ave. 63113) for a short presentation and dinner/hang out/discussion time.

Don't forget to save the dates for our other upcoming events:

12 noon on Saturday Nov. 4th @ Tower Grove Park Lily Pond shelter -

Liturgy to pray for the protection of Oak Flat

Sunday Nov. 19th exact evening time and location in the Normandy, MO area TBD -

Discussion of the new Papal document on the climate crisis, Laudate Deum. Send us an email and let us know you’re coming!

Thanks for being our friends and helping to build community in St. Louis. See you soon!

It was built in 1904 and has a few imperfections (don't we all) but we'll be able to start moving in immediately as we make higher need repairs. We’ve been overwhelmed by all the love and support that our local support community and the broader Catholic Worker movement has shown us. Thanks to all those who have sent prayers and financial resources our way. Folks have been more generous than we could have imagined and we were able to put down a decent sized down payment. We hope support will continue as we begin having regular monthly bills, mortgage payments, and other expenses related to performing the works of mercy. We have already started collecting gently used household items to furnish the place (we own almost nothing.) You can check out this list of needs and let us know if you have anythin...

We're hoping to buy a house and we need your help!

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...
