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 practice of nonviolence.”
St Thomas House of Hospitality
We have moved into our first large house in the Irish Channel, where we hope to serve the community. Our workday Saturday Jan 16, 2010 was very successful as well as the move in date Jan 30. Thanks to all volunteers who made it possible. Here are some of the activities we accomplished.
March 16 2011 – We are seeking new volunteers to join our community! We are looking for women and men interested in being live-in volunteers at the St Thomas Catholic Worker. If interested, feel free to contact us at cw@nolacatholicworker.org.
