Saint Francis & Therese Catholic Worker House
Worcester, Massachusetts,
United States
 We are a lay Catholic community living in simplicity, holding our goods in common, attempting to offer hospitality to homeless men and women, and working for peace and justice, in the spirit of Christ, the early church, and the saints. We pray together somewhat irregularly and publish a newspaper called the “Catholic Radical,” six times a year.
We work to promote a consistent ethic of life that opposes war, the death penalty, euthanasia, and abortion. We sponsor many demonstrations and work for peace on various international campaigns in war zones and areas of conflict. We are not government funded and draw on anarchist roots.
