St. Peter Claver Catholic Worker House

ACTIVITIES: Volunteers live in community with guests at one of St. Peter Claver’s two hospitality houses – one for men and one for women. The Catholic Worker community also runs a drop-in center, Our Lady of the Road, where guests can eat breakfast, use laundry services, take showers, rest, and socialize. Volunteer duties in the hospitality houses and drop-in center include the works of mercy, accompanying guests, manual labor (gardening and home improvement projects), organizing donations, cooking, and praying.

OVERVIEW: St. Peter Claver Catholic Worker House practices the ministry of hospitality as inspired by Dorothy Day.: feeding and sheltering the homeless, practicing the works of mercy, and opposing the works of war.
