The May issue of the Catholic Agitator has just been sent to the printer, and will hopefully be in the mail next week. We are really excited about this issue and the articles came together nicely. Those who just can’t wait to get a look at it can read it online at May Agitator.
Anyone who would like to receive a complimentary subscription to the Catholic Agitator can do so by sending email to info@lacatholicworker.org.
[Note: We recently received two updates from Elizabeth Griswold, a former Los Angeles Catholic Worker community member now working with a rural indigenous community in Guatemala. Both updates are included in this post.]
I wish everyone a Happy Spring and also a belated Happy Ashura, Happy Purim, and Happy Easter!
Here are some pictures from Semana Santa here–Holy Week, the week leading up to Easter. It is a really big deal here. We had no classes at school (a Spring Break), and I got to experience other traditions like eating crocodile meat, bread and honey, sweet garbanzo beans, and beet salad. There were big processions through the streets, Wed-Sun, with people marching and carrying large floats depicting Jesus´ final week.
