Coffee with Catholic Workers

In this episode we head back to Duluth, MN to hear from Maryn at Loaves and Fishes Catholic Worker. We explore queerness, foster children in community, and Maryn's journey from religious formation to the Catholic Worker.

In this episode we head back to the LA Worker to hear about some of their recent experiences with end of life care for two of their guests. We explore the ways in which community was able to care for the guests in this last life transition as well as the ways in which hospice care impacted workers themselves.

In this episode Martha Hennessy, one of Dorothy Day's granddaughters, joins us. She shares some of what it was like to be the granddaughter of Dorothy as well as some of her own journey in living out Catholic Worker values. 

On this episode of Coffee with Catholic Workers we speak to Jackie about the Hartford CW’s work with kids and what it was like to raise her own kids in the Catholic Worker.

This week we’re joined by Chrissy and Lindsey who are starting a new house of hospitality with Theo. They chat about their previous experiences in the CW movement and their vision for the new STL Catholic Worker Community.

We’re joined this time by Elizabeth, NJ founder (and Theo’s former Los Angeles CW community mate) Alex who talked about things not always going according to plan when you’re starting a Catholic Worker.

In this episode we’re joined by Alice from The Mustard Seed Farm in the Ames, Iowa region and Mary Kay from St. Isidore Farm in Southwest Wisconsin. They explore if the word “cult” in Peter Maurin’s alliterative vision of “cult, culture, and cultivation” is scary or a turn off and how they’re trying to be producers and not just consumers.

Email [email protected] (Mustard Seed) or [email protected] (St. Isidore) to find out more about how to visit their respective farms.

Today’s “guest” is Coffee with Catholic Workers’ very own Lydia! She tells Theo about Emmaus House’s work responding to the urgent needs of migrants sent north from the southern border and sleeping on Chicago police precinct floors without food and bedding.

Elisabeth and Josh Armfield speak with Theo about their lives at the Kommuniteten Senapskornet (Mustard Seed Community) Catholic Worker in Luleå, Sweden. 

During his visit to the Brot und Rosen (Bread and Roses) CW, Judith Samson told Theo about civil disobedience she's participated in to combat climate change.
