Community Meeting & Clean-Up Day!

The Catholic Worker is starting to hum with a schedule of retreats and workshops.

In mid-April, one ministry group will bring over 40 participants for a weekend retreat, including as many as 15 people staying overnight from out of town! That is probably the maximum amount our building can handle. We may need other community members to offer hospitality to some of these people in case the CW house fills up--please let us know if you would have space in your homes for that.

Clean-up & Preparation

This Saturday, March 28th, at 10:00 am, we will be getting the rooms ready for the upcoming retreatants. The Dominican sisters left the place in tip-top shape, but the bedrooms will need a dusting after sitting empty for so many months. Beds will be assembled and furniture distributed between the empty rooms. Volunteers are needed for this, so please consider spending time with us on Saturday morning this week!

After the cleanup, we'll have a potluck lunch and a larger Catholic Worker community meeting. We will discuss naming the house, ministry opportunities for our community and our upcoming May 1st Dedication.

You are welcome to attend all or part of these activities. Please join us!
