Catholic Worker Gatherings and Needs

There is a new Catholic Worker house in Seattle and their community is growing fast.  You can join them in their ministries and gatherings in a variety of ways.  The next opportunity to gather is for their monthly potluck and arts night on Saturday, July 20th at 6pm.  Please bring a snack or food to share as you are able.  You are also invited to share a poem, song, or dance too! 

The CW community is currently discerning the idea of buying a house for their ministry.  They are also on the lookout for people who might want to join the community in the fall.  If you are interested in getting involved with either pursuit, please contact them.  They are especially in need of supporters who might be able to lend, subsidize or sell a house for their continued work. 

The newest CW member, Dinah, is starting a new branch of the Contemplative Prayer group and is inviting people over 40 to join.  If you are interested, contact her at danbyd@gmail.com

In addition to this event, the CW community is in need of donations:
