December at the STL Catholic Worker Community

 


 

We hope to see you at one of our upcoming events, all of which are happening at 8617 Mora Ln unless stated otherwise.


- Prayer

Join us in prayer and song as we bring our joys and concerns to our creator and the community. (We think going forward this might become a regular gathering on the second Wednesday of the month.)


- Movie Night: A Christmas Story

Is the story Ralphie’s Christmas ambitions for a Red Ryder BB Gun a metaphor for the arms race? A critique of consumer society? An examination of patriarchy? Join us for a discussion after watching this Christmas comedy.

Our (usually) last Sunday of the month meal. Bring a friend or a dish to share, but most importantly bring yourself!
