Theo in 'US Catholic' magazine

The STL Catholic Worker Community's Theo was one of the CWs featured in US Catholic magazine's recent article How the Catholic Worker movement stays grassroots online.

From the article:

“People are looking for the Catholic Worker in these spaces and not finding it,” he says. Kayser also has his own Instagram and Facebook presence, in which he regularly shares Day’s quotes in the form of memes.
In November 2022, Kayser and Lydia Wong, a Chicago Catholic Worker, also started their own podcast, Coffee with Catholic Workers. They interviewed Workers young and old, highlighting the voices and experiences of a diverse movement. Kayser has taken the Worker’s communicative message seriously. “Dorothy repeatedly refers to it as a media organization,” Kayser says.
Nevertheless, he has encountered plenty of older Workers who are skeptical about the Catholic Worker having a social media presence. And he does agree, to a certain extent, about the dangers of becoming “too online.” “The Worker is something to be lived and experienced in the real world,” he says.

Find Theo on Facebook or Instagram. His podcast Coffee with Catholic Workers can be found on most platforms or on YouTube (here) for those who don't do podcasts.

The St. Louis Catholic Worker bought a house! After weeks of delay, we finally got the keys today! The building is big and beautiful, with a good yard for a Catholic Worker garden. 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...

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...
