The mission of the Catholic Worker Initiative is to feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, care for the sick, clothe the naked, visit the prisoner and work to expose and eradicate the injustices, systemic and otherwise that plague the vast majority of our human family. The Catholic Worker is about the belief in the sacred dignity of each and every human being on the planet, period. In a culture that worships material success, wealth and comfort, Catholic Workers seek to embrace poverty voluntarily as a way of growing closer to God and all God’s children.
