Is there any Catholic Worker group still active in Olympia? This site was the only one on line that I found. I’m interested in volunteering and would like to contact them.

I, too, am seeking out a CW community in Seattle. Perhaps we ought to be discussing either resurrecting the Pacem in Terris (the telephone number listed on the cw site is disconnected); or opening another house, perhaps in or near the University of Washington where a high concentration of street kids congregate?

I am a member of a small, accidental community residing in one of the cluster homes owned by the University Unitarians, in Wedgwood. I name us an accidental community, given that we were independently placed here by a local medical srvc. provider agency (purposely vague to guard neighbors’ privacy).

I would love the contact information of the Catholic Worker houses or farms in or near Seattle. I am looking to volunteer or visit, but am currently out of the country, so email is preferable, but anything would be great.

Thanks.

Also, it was nagging me all night, but I believe the priest at St. Francis was Don Durand. I can double check with my Mom, but I believe that’s right.

Wow! This was a trip down memory lane…I still miss “the block,” even though it’s been 24 years since we left it. I’m trying to convince my mom to write a memoir to include these experiences. Maybe someday.

Thanks. There’s kind of a discussion waiting to happen I think. About trying to vision our future. Where we are headed. What’s the plan. Peter Maurin used to do this, the visionary. But regardless…

This month I have been to Portland and Chicago. In both places I used the on-line CW resources I had and then the local phonebook and in the case of Portland, talking to catholics I knew locally. The phones were all disconnected. And I was unable to reavh anybody.

I know the future isn’t that important when today we are dying but still how does it look to us? Where we going?

I was in Portland last week. I went there on the train. I looking to connect with someone in the Catholic Worker. The only phone number I had said they were disconnected. It was for the people on Farragut Street. I did find the Sisters of the Road storefront cafe. I was impressed with their idea of charging for meals – work, trade, money or barter. Is the Catholic Worker shut down in the Pacific Northwest?
