Theo in 'US Catholic' magazine

The STL Catholic Worker Community's Theo was one of the CWs featured in US Catholic magazine's recent article How the Catholic Worker movement stays grassroots online.

From the article:

“People are looking for the Catholic Worker in these spaces and not finding it,” he says. Kayser also has his own Instagram and Facebook presence, in which he regularly shares Day’s quotes in the form of memes.
In November 2022, Kayser and Lydia Wong, a Chicago Catholic Worker, also started their own podcast, Coffee with Catholic Workers. They interviewed Workers young and old, highlighting the voices and experiences of a diverse movement. Kayser has taken the Worker’s communicative message seriously. “Dorothy repeatedly refers to it as a media organization,” Kayser says.
Nevertheless, he has encountered plenty of older Workers who are skeptical about the Catholic Worker having a social media presence. And he does agree, to a certain extent, about the dangers of becoming “too online.” “The Worker is something to be lived and experienced in the real world,” he says.

Find Theo on Facebook or Instagram. His podcast Coffee with Catholic Workers can be found on most platforms or on YouTube (here) for those who don't do podcasts.

July updates and invites!

Hi Friends! It's hot out there! You can help us help our friends on the street by donating bottled water, freezer pops, and single sized electrolyte or other drink mixes (such as propel or crystal light). Last summer we had a couple church/community groups run collections and we'd so love to see that again! Drop them by our house at 8617 Mora Ln. or drop us a line at StLouisCatholicWorker@gmail.com for pickups of bigger donations. Maybe you can help us keep our house cool too! To avoid running our stove for hours on our burrito service days, we're hoping to experiment with cooking our beans and rice in electric pressure cookers. We think it'll be energy efficient too! Our dream is that a couple of friends out there might have an Instant Pot that they don't often use and would be willing to share, either as a gift or as a long term loan. The bigger the better! Email us at StLouisCatholicWorker@gmail.com if you can to help. We also ho...

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...
