Catholic Worker House

They refer to themselves both as the Catholic Worker Community and as the Catholic Worker House. Since opening in 1985, they have sought to provide care, comfort and support to individuals who are homeless, poor, marginalized and in need of food and other basic services. They do their work following the philosophy of the Catholic Worker Movement which emphasizes faith-centered action, personalism, community building, nonviolence, simple living and a respect for the environment.

As an independent and faith-based community, they do their work with the belief that God will provide for their needs through the community surrounding them - people of different faiths, races and economic conditions. They do not accept government funding and are not under the auspices of any institutional church or diocese. They rely on volunteer labor and the donations of those who believe in what we are doing.
