Los Angeles Catholic Worker

We had our annual Sister House Retreat last weekend at Casa De Maria in Santa Barbara. Liz McAlister from Jonah house came out to give a workshop and lead us in prayer. In spite of the heavy rain, (or maybe because of it) a good time was had by all. Click here for photos.
