Los Angeles Catholic Worker

Jeff was released late last night after two days in Orange County Jail. At his sentencing he plead “Guilty as charged and proud of it!” The befuddled judge gave him time served.

Jeff was arrested Wednesday morning after an all night sit in at the office of Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D-Santa Ana). He and the five other arrestees were asking Rep. Sanchez to sign a statement agreeing to vote against funding the war. Jeff refused to sign a document promising to appear in court and was sent to jail to await his Thursday sentencing. He is dedicating his jail time to the memory of the victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and to the memory of the friend and mentor of the LACW Ladon Sheats, on the 5th anniversary of his death.

To Celebrate the last Harry Potter book, a group of us went to a midnight party. From left to right are Natalie as Tonks, Sophie as Dobby, Vanessa as Harry, Clare as Professor Trelawney,

Here’s the new photo album for our summer program activities. I’ll continue adding to it as the summer progresses.

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: Chris Scott, Natalie Boydston, Jodi Granado, Mariah Schoppman and Chris Rooney.
