"Hello all, my name is Tony. And I just joined the Catholic worker movement back in June of this year. What I came here for was temporary and what I have found has been lasting. I found a movement that is steeped in history and Goodwill, a community coming together for a common cause. It has also been very gratifying to help provide a much-needed service that would not exist if not for everyone involved doing their part. Most of all it has given me a new purpose in my life." "I am very thankful for the community meals that the Catholic worker serves Monday Wednesday and Thursdays plus the miscellaneous giveaways." Tammy |
