Los Angeles Catholic Worker

Yes, everyone needs socks! But homeless people need socks more than everyone else. With police harassment on the increase, the homeless are forced to “keep moving,” thus wearing out their socks more quickly. Please bring or send new pairs of socks to the LACW Sox and the City campaign.

The Center For Spiritual Development is holding a celebration of the life of CW founder Dorthy Day. The day will include a performance of the play “Conversations with Dorothy Day” by Sharon Halsey-Hoover and a showing of Claudia Larson’s Documentary “Don’t Call Me A Saint”. Check out their website www.thecsd.com for more info.

One of our summer interns Sybilla put together a fabulous short video of the summer picnics. Check it out!
