Catholic Worker Houses

By Sheila Durkin Dierks

What is it that leads a person to voluntary poverty, hourly disruption, complete involvement witht he poor, a willingness to exist on the kindness of others?

This book is a celebration of the Catholic Worker Movement fifty years after its founding; an inquiry into the lives of those who choose for a week, a year, or a lifetime to follow in the footsteps of Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin on city streetes and RFD routes. It is a celebration of guests who, in their need, enter into the Catholic Worker houses bearing their spirit, their pain, their joy, their own willingness to serve.
