Catholic Racial History Tour of Calvary Cemetary

  Please plan to join us Sunday, November 1, 2026, for a racial history tour of Calvary Cemetery. We will visit the burial sites of figures notable for their roles in the racial history of the St. Louis Archdiocese, the Jesuit order, and our civil society. The tour will be conducted by Dr. Kelly Schmidt (Reparative Public Historian and Lecturer, Washington University) and Fr. Jeff Harrison, S.J. Leading us through the burial sites, our guides will share stories from the experience of these ancestors and the connection to our lives today. Please arrive by 12:45 pm and park inside the front entrance near the cemetery office. We encourage people to take this time to consolidate into a carpool caravan. The tour will begin promptly at 1:00 pm and conclude at approximately 3:30 pm. Standing and some walking over the cemetery's grassy slopes should be expected. This program is sponsored by the History Committee of the College Church Antiracism Commission and the STL Catholic Worker Comm...

April at the StL CW

  Happy Easter! April is a special time for us at the StL CW. This month marks 3 years since we first publicly announced our dream of starting a new Catholic Worker project in St. Louis and two years since we got the keys to our CW community house!   Thanks for helping us make that dream come true and for all your continued support. We couldn’t keep on feeding and housing those in need or fighting the “filthy rotten system” (as Dorothy Day is said to have called it) without you.  We hope we’ll see you at a protest, burrito prep morning, or one of our April community events soon! -CW Clarification of Thought Movie Night: Godzilla Sunday, April 12 Soup at 6PM, Movie at 7PM 8617 Mora Ln.  A critique of nuclear warfare, and thus considered too controversial for American audiences, Ishiro Honda's 1954 'Gojira' did not receive a wide release in the United States until 2004. A classic of pacifist cinema, the film deftly uses metaphor to explore the themes of war and weapons...

The Long Loneliness Lenten Book Discussion

Start reading now for our Lenten book discussion of Catholic Worker founder Dorothy Day’s autobiography The Long Longlines .  On March 2nd we’ll get together at the StL CW community house ( 8617 Mora Ln. ) to discuss parts 1 and 2 of the book and will gather again on March 23rd to discuss the rest. Theo will have soup starting at 6PM with the discussion beginning at 7. Please RSVP to StLouisCatholicWorker@gmail.com if you plan to come or just show up if you decide to at the last minute! We were just sitting there talking when Peter Maurin came in. We were just sitting there talking when lines of people began to form, saying, “We need bread.” We could not say, “Go, be thou filled.” If there were six small loaves and a few fishes, we had to divide them. There was always bread. We were just sitting there talking and people moved in on us. Let those who can take it, take it. Some moved out and that made room for more. And somehow the walls expanded. We were just sitting there ta...

Postponed! Happy Birthday Theo!" Pizza Party Fundraiser!

  Because of forecasted snow, we’re going to gather February 1st! Our communal meal on Sunday, January 25th will be a pizza party fundraiser to celebrate Theo’s 36 years of life and 16 years with the Catholic Worker!   Instead of our normal monthly potluck, we’ll be getting together starting at 5 PM at our community house, 8617 Mora Lane, for pizza, beer, sparkling water, and (as is the tradition for this annual event) Jarritos. We’re asking for a $15 suggested donation, but we're operating on the honor system and no one is ever turned away because they can’t pay. Help us guess how many pizzas to order by letting us know if you’re coming via email to  StLouisCatholicWorker@gmail. com , but show up anyway if you forgot to rsvp! Can't make the party? You can still support by sending a check to: STL Catholic Worker Community    8617 Mora Ln.    St. Louis, MO 63147    venmo or cash app us @STLCatholicWorker $STLCatholicWorker In keeping with the ...
