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!

We had a wonderful, prayerful gathering on the 4th of July to mourn the deaths in Iraq. Many thanks to the Veterans for Peace for hosting us at Arlington West. Their dedication and hard work was an inspiration to us all. Click here for photos.

Our summer interns are here! We are happy to welcome them into our community and our guests at the kitchen appreciate the cheer they add to the meals that we serve. In the photo from left to right: Brandon Paluch from Los Angeles, Valerie Medina from Los Angeles, Missy Kickert from Illinois, Courtney Ott from Arizona, Herman van Veelen from the Netherlands and Sybilla Bryson from Indiana.

If you missed it, please feel free to come visit some other time!
