Volunteer with us! Help make burritos!

 


Hi friends, we need your helping making burritos to distribute to our friends on the street. Helpers are needed on Saturday mornings from about 10 AM till noon and can expect to chop veggies, roll burritos, and help do some dishes at our house of hospitality.

Not in the St. Louis area? Can't make it on Saturday mornings? Perhaps you're in a place to consider sponsoring burrito ingredients and bottled water which cost us about $75 each week. Gifts can be sent through venmo @STLCatholicWorker or via check made out to STL Catholic Worker Community and mailed to 8617 Mora Ln. St. Louis, MO 63147.

Other needs that precariously housed folks often ask us for and that you can bring us directly include: 

  • socks
  • bug spray
  • over the counter pain meds (ibuprofen, etc.)
  • lotion
  • body wash

Email us at StLouisCatholicWorker@gmail.com to sign up to volunteer, find a time to bring by donations, or with any other questions. Thanks for all your support!

Racial History Tour of Calvary Cemetery + Prayer to Protect Oak Flat

Racial History Tour of Calvary Cemetery 1:00 pm Sunday, October 19 As we approach All Souls Day and Black Catholic History Month, learn about the racial history of Catholic St. Louis by joining us for a tour of Calvary Cemetery.

Participants have the option to travel between stops either by bike or b...

A Christmas Appeal from The STL Catholic Worker

  A Christmas Appeal from The STL Catholic Worker “It is no use to say that we are born two thousand years too late to give room to Christ. Nor will those who live at the end of the world have been born too late. Christ is always with us, always asking for room in our hearts. He said that a glass of water given to a beggar was given to Him. He made heaven hinge on the way we act towards Him in his disguise of commonplace, frail and ordinary human beings. And to those who say, aghast, that they never had a chance to do such a thing, that they lived two thousand years too late, he will say again what they had the chance of knowing all their lives, that if these things were done for the very least of his brethren they were done for Him. They are Christ, asking us to find room for Him exactly as He did at the first Christmas.” - Dorothy Day “They evicted us from that abandoned building,” Brett told me as I handed him a couple burritos. “We didn’t know they were coming. I was away and t...
