The Vision of the New Orleans Catholic Worker

“The aim of the Catholic Worker movement is to live in accordance with the justice and charity of Jesus Christ.

Rooted in the good news of scripture, we seek the kingdom of God.

We seek to be an invitation to gospel living for the community, creating an opportunity for all to be part of the kingdom.

We come together in our brokenness to heal one another through the loving example of Christ.

We place an emphasis on the works of mercy and radical action against the causes of oppression through the practices of hospitality and nonviolence.

Our work is supported by a greater community of people inspired by the Catholic Worker’s vision for social justice.  This community includes Hope House located at 916 St Andrews St, Pax Christi, several apostolates of local religious communities in New Orleans and connections with Catholic Worker houses throughout the country.

Our core community is partnered with these others to make a long-term, sustainable commitment to having a Catholic Worker community in New Orleans which will provide hospitality and advocate for justice in our city and in our country.

House of Hospitality

In March 2010 we moved into our first large house in the Irish Channel, where we  serve the community through live-in hospitality and other ministries. Learn more about our St Thomas House of Hospitality here…
