fundraiser and more at the STL Catholic Worker Community in February

 

We will NOT be having our regular 'last Sunday of the month' potluck this January. 

Instead, everyone is invited on Sunday, February 2nd to a Catholic Worker fundraiser to celebrate Theo's 35th birthday and his 15th anniversary of coming to the CW movement! Just like last year, a suggested (though never required) donation of 10$ gets you in the door for some pizza, beer, and Jarritos and we'll have items for raffle and auction too! We'll be getting together at 5 PM at 8617 Mora Ln. If you think you'll probably make it, send us a soft RSVP via text (‪314-474-5506‬) or email (StLouisCatholicWorker@gmail.com) so we can guess-timate how many pizzas to get. But don't sweat it if you decide to come last minute, we'll order extra and if there's leftovers we'll share from our excess with those lacking in pizza!
 
 
-Mark your calendars for our regular events in February. On the second Wednesday (12th) at 6 PM we will come together in prayer to bring our joys and concerns to the creator and the community and on the last Sunday (Feb 23rd) at 5 PM we'll come together to break bread at our monthly potluck. Both will be at our home at 8617 Mora Ln.

-Are you a slow or busy reader like us? Want to get a head start on a future StL CW clarification of thought book club book? We'll be reading A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers for a date to be determined in March (or maybe April).

-We're only halfway through January and it's already been a long, cold month. We're continually awed by and grateful for the network of volunteers around our city who carry the work of protecting the most vulnerable people from the dangerous temperatures we've experienced lately. The sustained cold has been straining the stamina of the all volunteer Winter Outreach network we work closely with. If you've yet to plug in with Winter Outreach, please consider signing up to help with their street outreach efforts. You can find out more info on their website. While you might catch us going out with WO on any given night, we are the coordinators on Monday evenings if you'd like to come when we're most likely to be there.

Hope to see you soon!

June at the STL CW

We have a lot going on in June! Check out next month’s happenings below and plan on joining us for one of our regular get-togethers at 8617 Mora Ln! Community Prayer Wednesday June 4th, 6 PM Join us for this welcoming and informal time of bringing our joys and concerns to the creator and community. The Serviceberry - Clarification of Thought Book Club Thursday June 12th, 6 PM Read the book or just show up to hear the conversation. 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...
