meet the StL CW event April 30!

Hello all!

Chrissy Kirchhoefer, Lindsey Myers, and Theo Kayser have decided to work towards opening a Catholic Worker in St Louis. Each of us have been involved in respective Catholic Worker communities from Phoenix to Los Angeles to Colombia, MO and Karen house!

We want to invite you to join our community and bring your gifts and skills to share alongside us. We are having our first gathering on April 30th from 2-6pm at Sophia house 4547 Gibson ave. At 4pm, we will have a conversation about our vision and hopes for our new community and our current needs for support.

We will be having a cookout! It'd be great if you RSVP, but please show up even if you don't. Wanna bring a dish to share? That's wonderful, but no pressure!

We invite and welcome you come co-create a more just St. Louis with us. One shared gift at a time.

If you’re not able to make it --we will miss you! If you want to be involved please fill out this form & we will reach out!
