Who We Are and What We Do
The San Diego Catholic Worker is composed of a group of people inspired by the Sermon on the Mount and the instructions of Jesus to feed the hungry, shelter the homeless and clothe the naked.
For close to 40 years now with lots of volunteer help we have provided a delicious lunch for 100 or more mostly homeless people in Pacific Beach every Friday.
In recent years we have also been taking hot soup, sandwiches, boiled eggs and water at nighttime, directly to people living on city streets.
We have also been collecting and distributing used clothes once or twice a month to the same men, women and children.
Catholic Worker houses are not official organs of the Catholic Church, and their activities, inspired by Day's example, may be more or less overtly religious in tone and inspiration depending on the particular institution. The movement campaigns for nonviolence and is active in opposing both war and the unequal global distribution of wealth. Day also founded the Catholic Worker newspaper, still published by the two Catholic Worker houses in New York City, and sold for one cent a copy.
