Description
Our community provides emergency shelter to homeless women and children. We have been engaged in this ministry for over 30 years. Sadly we are among those CW houses that has experienced a loss of full-time, long-term community members in recent years, imperiling our mission of service to a few of the 7000 people homeless in our area.
Our Catholic Worker House of Hospitality serves a hot meal daily for about 100 people. We provide hospitality year round and winter emergency shelter. We are in need of full time, live-in staff. We can provide room, board and stipend. If interested contact: Tom Malthaner at PO Box 31049, Rochester NY 14603, or call the house: 585-232-3262, email: cathwork@frontiernet.net.
Slocum House, Syracuse, NY, is the home of the Jail Ministry office, a 35-year Catholic Worker-inspired, grass roots, organization working with inmates at the local city-county jail. The house has space for two or more to live in the house, continue the support of Jail Ministry by helping take care of the house, and create their own CW efforts through hospitality or other social justice efforts within a CW view of the world. Those living in the house are asked to contribute a modest ($200/month) amount to the house upkeep and contribute 3 hours of work a week for house chores.
Are you looking for a life-changing experience in service to the poor on behalf of social justice? Volunteering at a Catholic Worker community is guaranteed to provide that experience.
