defend Weelaunee forest roundtable postponed!!!

Oh no!

We had a miscommunication and there’s been a subsequent double booking of the venue for Sunday's roundtable!

We're postponing this weekend's get-together and instead meeting on October 29th at 5:30 for our potluck and round table discussion about the resistance to the destruction of Weelaunee forest for that multi-million dollar “Cop City” project. Chrissy, Lindsey, and Theo will be joining other midwest Catholic Workers to travel to Atlanta in mid-November to take part in a weekend of actions organized by blockcopcity.org . We’ll still gather at Stomp the World (6815 Gravois Ave. 63113) for a short presentation and dinner/hang out/discussion time.

Don't forget to save the dates for our other upcoming events:

12 noon on Saturday Nov. 4th @ Tower Grove Park Lily Pond shelter -

Liturgy to pray for the protection of Oak Flat

Sunday Nov. 19th exact evening time and location in the Normandy, MO area TBD -

Discussion of the new Papal document on the climate crisis, Laudate Deum. Send us an email and let us know you’re coming!

Thanks for being our friends and helping to build community in St. Louis. See you soon!

This month’s clarification of thought topic will center on Braiding Sweetgrass author Robin Wall Kimmerer’s The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World. From the cover: The serviceberry’s relationship with the natural world is an embodiment of reciprocity, interconnectedness, and gratitude. The tree distributes its wealth—its abundance of sweet, juicy berries—to meet the needs of its natural community. And this distribution ensures its own survival. As Kimmerer explains, ‘Serviceberries show us another model, one based upon reciprocity, w...

May 25th Potluck at Tower Grove Park!

The last Sunday of the month usually means StL CW potluck! May is one of the nice times of year to be outdoors in Missouri so we thought we’d gather at Tower Grove Park for this month’s shared meal. Chrissy is providing the soccer ball! But you can bring a lawn chair or blanket along with your normal dish to share. (Or just come as you are!) We aren’t officially renting a pavilion or picnic site. Instead we're just going to grab a spot and set up some tables somewhere near the Kingshighway entrance to the park. We'll be somewhere west of the New Comfort Station ( here on Google Maps ). You should see us with a couple tables and chairs set up; we'll probably be somewhere in this orange square Right now the weather can’t fully decide if we’ll be dry Sunday or not. No worries though! Our friend Olivia has offered her nearby apartment in the event of rain! If you think we might not be at the park because of the weather or if you just can’t locate us in the park, text or call...
