Publication: Rochester Catholic Worker

At St. Joseph's House of Hospitality, the sources of our spirit and the direction are the teachings of Jesus and the founding work of Dorothy Day. Since 1941, we have been an independent, non-profit organization, sustained by the donations and financial contribution of individuals and groups. We accept no funds from the government. We are rooted in the belief that through God we are provided with our daily needs.

Consistent with the philosophy of the Catholic Worker Movement, we share our hope for a "new society," a new way of being with one another. People who come to this house are "guests," ambassadors of God. We attempt to form the community through commitment to the following:

• Acceptance of the personal
• Obligation of attending to the needs of our brothers and sisters
• A daily practice of the works of mercy - feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, visiting the imprisoned, comforting the sorrowful
• The practice of non-violent witness for peace and justice.

Volunteers needed:
Our Catholic Worker House of Hospitality serves a hot meal daily for about 100 people. We provide hospitality year round and winter emergency shelter. We are in need of full time, live-in staff. We can provide room, board and stipend. If interested contact: Tom Malthaner at PO Box 31049, Rochester NY 14603, or call the house: 585-232-3262, email: cathwork@frontiernet.net.
